    We have the most stunning sunset but drizzle is still falling.

  3. The England innings should have resumed by exactly this time, 20:01, so that will be closed now and we will have the DLS calculations if the match is able to resume.

  4. After a watchful start against some clever variations, Banton hit the first six of the England innings.

  5. Tom Banton, opening in the absence of the injured Jason Roy, had an early reprieve on five and he was soon about to cash in on his moment of fortune.

  6. With the rain still falling, let's go through the highlights of the England innings and it was a brief stay for Jonny Bairstow today after Pakistan put England in, caught and bowled in the first over.

    We just went round the dressing room and asked. Dom Bess is generally pretty clammy.

    How did you find out who was the sweatiest?

  9. James Anderson

    Dom Bess. It's probably not a title he wants.

    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Who was the sweatiest England player who had to shine the ball during the Test series?

  11. England batsman Tom Banton. speaking to Sky Sports after his 42-ball 71: "It was good fun. I struggled to begin with. They bowled nicely and then I backed myself when the spinners came on. The bounce was a bit tennis-bally, a bit slow to begin with. Pace on was quite nice but pace off was difficult."

    What is a good score? "170-180. We are disappointed to lose few wickets in the last few overs but I am backing the boys to get some more runs."

    We thought rain was going to come earlier but it has come during the game.

  13. Nick Knight is out there working for TV. I saw highlights earlier today of him getting out lbw first ball to Wasim Akram in full flow on this ground in 2001. It was going a foot over the top and it was a no-ball by a similar margin. It proved to be his final Test innings.

    To our frustration, to our left is the most glorious sunshine.

  15. Captain Morgan was an important wicket for Pakistan. He got off the mark first ball with a reverse sweep for four and then hit this six before missing a sweep and falling lbw for 14.

  16. Fresh from his exciting 71, Tom Banton is interviewed in the socially distant pod by Sky Sports and he targets 170-180 for England. He also predicts only 20 more minutes of rain and then a restart. We shall see if his weather forecasting is as good as his Dilscoop.

    What I like about this match is there is a bit of spin and the boundaries are right back. Sometimes in domestic cricket you see the boundaries are brought in just for batsmen to hit sixes.

  18. Eng 131-6

    A fluctuating innings for England, who lost 4-14 in three overs after Tom Banton departed for that fine 71 off 42 balls, with four fours and five sixes.

    Where the weather is coming from there is a fair bit of grey sky but it is not anything that looks like it is here to stay for the evening.

  20. That rain has got heavier now and they have brought the big sheets on to cover the square. A rainbow in the distance. Geoffrey from iconic kids programme of that name was from nearby Stockport.
