What a brilliant knock Crawley has played. Rauf was a little bit expensive but he will take that because it's a big wicket.

Zak Crawley's sensational knock comes to an end as he has his stumps rattled by Haris Rauf.
The England dressing room rises to Crawley...

Former Pakistan pace bowlerI think England are going to be positive and keep putting Pakistan under pressure. If Pakistan can sneak another wicket or two then things can change for them.

It's umpire's call on impact and on leg stump.
Pope is fine but there's just a hint that this pitch isn't as totally serene as it has looked.

Pakistan are going for another lbw review! Has Ollie Pope got a second baller?
This one is optimistic, for me.

Duckett lbw b Mahmood 107 (Eng 233-1)
Finally, Pakistan have something to celebrate. It was indeed very straight as Ben Duckett got really low to sweep the leg-spinner.
He has to slump off, clearly gutted to have to let someone else have a go on this road, but that is a fine, fine knock.

Former Pakistan pace bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThe only thing that's going to save him is if it's bouncing over the top. It's very straight.
Pakistan reviewpublished at 35.3 overs
Oooo. We're going upstairs again as Ben Duckett is hit on the pad trying a reverse sweep.
Pakistan were pleading for the lbw.

Former Pakistan pace bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThis is unbelievable. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time, six years out of the side.
He's proven that his game suits these surfaces. He could have easily been in England's T20 World Cup team, too. But he has really taken his opportunity here, he's playing brilliantly.
He has not allowed any of the Pakistan bowlers to settle.

The full England team is on its feet up in the dressing room. Duckett composes himself after looking to the skies.
A run-a-ball century made to look pedestrian by his batting partner.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorWhat a dream comeback this is!
100 for Ben Duckettpublished at 34.5 overs

Ben Duckett pulls Haris Rauf and, helped by some shoddy fielding, it goes for four. On his comeback after six years out of the team, the left-hander has a 105-ball century.
Outstanding.

Former Pakistan pace bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland have just changed the mould of Test cricket. They are going to put teams around the world under so much pressure if they keep playing with this approach.
Pakistan are nearly out of the game already, but England must be thinking about when they are going to declare!

Crawley 117, Duckett 96
Pakistan leg-spinner Zahid Mehmood goes from hands on head to full tea pot as Crawley cuts, a little edgily, for four.
It has been that kind of day for the bowlers.

Crawley drives perfectly for four again.
