  1. Analysis - Abid looks to counter Anderson threatpublished at 11:46 British Summer Time 24 August 2020

    Pakistan opener Abid Ali is trying to get out of his crease to Jimmy Anderson this morning, after edging to the slip in the first innings.

    Abid Ali has looked in decent nick so far as he is on his toes to carve Woakes through point for two.

    He is struck high on the thigh though and England ask the question, but the ball is going way over. They decide not to sent it upstairs. A good decision, England wasted a couple of their reviews in the first innings.

    The official word from England is that Ollie Pope has a sore left shoulder (the one he dislocated last year) and won't field before lunch. Paul Collingwood is in whites and can run drinks alongside sub fielders Mark Wood and Jack Leach.

    A change in the bowling now as Chris Woakes replaces Stuart Broad.

    The Jos Buttler drop took us all by surprise because there was so little reaction to it. I didn't think it was an edge. It was Jimmy's reaction - he smiled.

    Abid 15, Masood 9

    Well, on the bright side, the weather is holding up.

    Anderson bowls full as Abid Ali punches down the wicket for two runs. He follows that up with another nice drive for three more.

    I dropped one off Ian Botham as a youngster. The one person you want to impress, take a great catch for... I went for avoiding eye contact, head down.

    This isn't pleasant viewing for England fans...

  9. Pak 25-0published at 8 overs

    Stuart Broad bowls round the wicket to Shan Masood who defends solidly. Since that one innings in the first Test, where he scored a brilliant 156, Masood has struggled in this series.

    He does find a boundary, however, with a thick outside edge past gully. Intentional, played with soft hands.

    But the he has a flirt at one well outside the off stump. It's an ugly looking shot, playing away from his body when he should leave it well alone.

    The best and worst of Shan Masood.

    He's wearing Rory Burns' shirt - I think Burns has gone off with his finger. Maybe it's a little John Terry moment for him.

    Is this really happening? Is Paul Collingwood coming on? He'll sort this shambles out.

    Collingwood to take a blinder for Jimmy's 600th. I'm calling it now.

    Anderson has Abid playing and missing. Maiden.

    Drop to drop, Jimmy Anderson has seen four catches go down in 37 balls.

    Not only are they four dropped catches, but they are four catches that you'd grab 99 times out of 100.

    Can you imagine if Jimmy doesn't reach his milestone in this series?

    Three from the over as Abid clips Broad to mid-wicket.

    I wonder what's going through Anderson's mind. Probably that it needs to be lbw or bowled.

    That can only be nerves from Buttler.

  19. Pak 18-0published at 5 overs

    I still can't believe Buttler didn't grab that. It was a complete regulation catch. Surprisingly, Jimmy is smiling, just about. That's all he can do really.
