Eng 43-2published at 5 overs
And Naseem Shah comes roaring back again! He beats Jos Buttler's outside edge twice to end the over. Five play and misses, five wides and a six.
I don't think I've seen an over like it.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialWhat an incredible shot that is! How does he play that shot? It is coming at him in 90mph and he's been beaten three times in the over.
Eng 43-2published at 4.4 overs
Wow, that is outrageous.
After two play and misses Jos Buttler has had enough and plays a ramp shot over the wicketkeepers head for six.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialNaseem Shah could have had Jos Buttler out two or three times in this over.
They've surely got to get the slip back in again? Ah, yes. Here he comes.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialIt just feels like Naseem Shah is going to take a wicket every ball, especially when he bowls that heavy length.
Eng 37-2published at 4.3 overs
My word, Naseem Shah is getting the ball to swing all over the place.
Twice Jos Buttler goes fishing outside his off stump and the ball hoops away from him and through to the wicketkeeper.
You can feel the tension.

So I have decided to check the score twice today and both occasions have been at the exact fall of a wicket; I think I may be a jinx so apologise profusely. Shall be throwing my phone out of the window until the end of the innings!
One very apologetic Jess, London.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialIt is a little bit unlucky that it has run away to the boundary, but that's got to hurt Pakistan. Every run is going to be crucial.
Pak 37-2published at 4.2 overs
If only the game was that simple.
Naseem Shah strays way down the leg-side next ball and it fizzes past Babar Azam and away for five wides.

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialWhy doesn't Naseem Shah just try and bowl that length every single ball?

Ooh, that's the length from Naseem Shah as he gets the ball to flash past Jos Buttler's outside edge.
Brilliant delivery.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialOh come on, everybody. That was clearly hit straight into the ground.
It was a great crowd catch.
Pak 32-3published at 4 overs
That's a good over from Haris Rauf after being smacked for four off his first ball.
The crowd get a bit over-excited when Ben Stokes clearly smacks the ball into the pitch before it loops up to the fielder.
You can understand their excitement, though. This is turning into a brilliant final.

Ben Stokes comes out to join Jos Buttler in the middle in a World Cup final.
Sound familiar?

Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match SpecialIt is the first hard length ball since the first wicket and it has again brought a wicket.
Pakistan haven't bowled well in the first 3.3 overs but they've taken two wickets.
England are still favourites, but Pakistan need to stick to that length if they want a chance of winning this game.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialThat was mis-timed. It was shorter this time, as instructed by his captain.
It was a very easy catch.

Salt c Iftikhar b Rauf 10 (Eng 32-2)
Haris Rauf hits back!
The Pakistan bowler bangs one in short of a length and Phil Salt makes a mess of the pull shot and it goes straight to Iftikhar Ahmed at mid-wicket.
