    It's just got very dark in the direction where the weather comes from.

  2. Pak 36-0published at 15 overs

    Shan 12, Abid 18

    Back of a length and on the leg stump from Jofra, Masood works it square of the wicket for two.

    The Pakistan team are scattered around the dressing room and outside the boundary. Some of them will fly back after this Test while others will stay on for the T20s.

    I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there seems to be a dark cloud in the distance. We hope it is heading in the other direction.

    There's not a huge amount of demons out there. If you play with a bit of skill and concentration, you should be able to score a few this afternoon.

    Archer, who is yet to concede from his two overs this morning, will continue.

    Post-drinks lapse in concentration from the batters? We've seen it many times before.

  5. Who is England's Test player of the summer?published at 12:04 British Summer Time 24 August 2020

    Less than a few months ago, we weren't sure if we'd see any international cricket this summer. Yet we've had two incredible series and huge respect to both the touring West Indies and Pakistan sides.

    Overall, it has been good going for England as they beat West Indies 2-1 and, barring nothing short of a miracle, will complete a series win over Pakistan this week.

    But who has been England's player of the summer? Former England captain Michael Vaughan has drawn up a shortlist, and it's down to you to pick your winner from James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes.

    You generally do when you know it's coming...

    I watched England's fielding drills this morning. They basically caught everything.

    With all the chat of England injuries, it's just struck me that this might be the best chance I've ever got of getting on the field in a Test match. Obviously it will take a few more injuries/ailments, but usually they would be able to call any number of people in. Not in the bubble. I'm sure the likes of Mark Ramprakash and Michael Vaughan would be above me in the pecking order, but have they got their kit in the car? I came prepared...

  9. Pak 34-0published at 14 overs

    Do-nut give up hope, Phil. Sorry, I'm so sorry. I fully expect and deserve a thumbs down for this post.

    A tidier line from Chris Woakes, angling in to the stumps, but not all that much happening for England, particularly when Abid is on strike.

    Buttler dives down low to his left to save what would have been four leg-byes.

    And with that, it's drinks.

    Phil Campbell: I have got a doughnut on my desk which I said that I'll eat when the first wicket falls. Hope that these catches start sticking soon!

    I think it pitched outside leg stump.

  12. Pak 34-0published at 13 overs

    TMS's loss is England's gain. I have to say, Azhar's insight and analysis in this series has been spot on. Knows his stuff.

    Archer bowls full and traps Masood on the pads. Jofra has his hands in the air as the England fielders join him in the appeal. I think I heard two noises there. Joe Root decides against the review.

    Chris Woakes has bowled a short, wide one and then blamed the Alice band. I like that.

  15. Pak 34-0published at 11:54 British Summer Time 24 August 2020

    Movement from Woakes as the ball seams away from Abid Ali and into the gloves of Buttler. That excites the slip cordon.

    Woakes follows that up with a couple of wayward delivery and finishes it up with another beauty which invites a play and a miss.

    Shan Masood looks the more vulnerable of this Pakistan pair, hasn't quite settled in yet.

    Pakistan are 278 runs behind

    I'm no expert but there are some dodgy barnets there.

    Archer's first delivery is sent down at 79mph. He finds his rhythm, reaching the late 80s but still nothing which is overly threatening.

    James: James Anderson is approaching 600 Test Match wickets and he has gone through some amazing haircuts since his debut in 2003. Which one is your favourite?

    James Anderson's wait for 600 will continue as Jofra Archer is brought into the attack. Will this be a short, fiery spell?

    If Collingwood is the next fielder to come on, that's not a great indication for Jack Leach and Mark Wood...
