  1. Pakistan review

    Shadab Khan strikes Harry Brook on the pad with one which straightened. Given not out on the field, but this will be close.

  2. Eng 54-3

    A little fortuitous for Dawid Malan as he edges the first ball of Shadab Khan's second over for four through third.

    Malan and Harry Brook happy to poke and prod the next three balls into the gaps.

  3. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Dawid Malan has not found his timing at all.

  4. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Brilliant, brilliant over. There were some slower balls, quicker balls, some wide outside off stump. It was really clever bowling.

  5. Eng 46-3

    Wise words, Alex. Wickets in hand will be key here.

    Harry Brook and Dawid Malan find it tough to get Iftikhar Ahmed away with just two singles from his over.

  6. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Brook just has to look to build a partnership. It still should be fairly simple but after the last game you never know.

  7. Eng 45-3

    Shadab Khan hustles through an over of leg spin. Three runs off the over, with Harry Brook picking up two of them.

  8. Saqib Mahmood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Shan Masood has a bit of Daniel Ricciardo about him.

  9. Eng 43-3

    Dawid Malan is fairly cautious to Haris Rauf before opening up to pick up 10 off the over.

    He picks up a couple with a pull before a beautiful on drive for four off Rauf's penultimate delivery. Malan follows it up with a more risky drive in the point region which also goes for four.

    Harry Brook is the new England batter, by the way.

    The worm shows England are one run behind Pakistan. England are 42 for 3 after 6 overs. At the same stage Pakistan were 43 for 2.BBC Sport

    It was not the best ball again if we're honest but Wasim had his protection in the right place.

    WICKET

    Duckett c Shan Masood b Mohammad Wasim 10 (Eng 31-3)

    A wide to finish the over from Mohammad Wasim...and from the extra ball Pakistan profit.

    Ben Duckett throws his hands a little at a delivery from Mohammad Wasim and he's through shot a little. The ball comes off the edge and flies down to third where a gleeful Shan Masood gobbles up the catch.

  12. Eng 30-2

    Mohammad Wasim is sweating buckets as he attempts to stifle England's batters with two dot balls.

    Dawid Malan gets impatient and swishes the willow at his third ball. He exchanges words with the bowler.

    Next delivery and the Pakistan seamer flummoxes Malan with a slower ball.

    Fine bowling.

    Rich: Phil Salt just isn’t good enough. Been very lucky to get where he is.

  14. Eng 29-2

    Oh Ben Duckett, that is classy.

    The England batter is economical with his movement, keeps his eye on the ball and late cuts Haris Rauf's fifth ball to the boundary all along the carpet through point.

  15. Saqib Mahmood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That is just the ball you want first ball - a half-volley.

  16. Eng 23-2

    Ben Duckett is the new batter and the left-hander is off the mark by leaning into half-volley from Haris Rauf and the ball races away to the boundary for four. That'll do.

  17. Saqib Mahmood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    The pressure was building on Salt and he had not had much of the strike.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Salt c sub (V Tiwari) b Haris Rauf 3 (Eng 19-2)

    Haris Rauf strikes with his first ball as Phil Salt pulls a short ball straight into the hands of deep square leg

  19. Saqib Mahmood
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    If Pakistan can be disciplined with the ball they can make this hard work for England.

  20. Eng 19-1

    A brisk over from Mohammad Nawaz, and six runs from it for England.

    The pick of them from Nawaz's fifth ball which is calmly, and confidently, stroked through the covers by Dawid Malan.
