    It may be worth Leach bowling a wide delivery down leg. It could produce a freaky stumping as Imam Ul-Haq does come down a long way.

  4. Pak 179-0published at 49 overs

    The umpires get together at the end of the over. Is this it?

  5. Pak 175-0published at 48.3 overs

    Imam-ul-Haq has done it again! Maybe he thinks he'll attack while the fielders can't see the ball. It's either that or he fancies a hundred tonight.

  6. Pak 175-0published at 48 overs

    Shafique 89, Ul-Haq 84

    Imam-ul-Haq is going full nighthawk here. Jacks is the latest bowler to be charged and smashed by the usually nuggetty left-hander.

    All four openers have reached 75 in the first innings. Only once has that happened before - Australia v India at Sydney in January 1986.

    The umpires have the light meter out again but on we go.

    Will Jacks is on again.

  10. Eng 169-0published at 47 overs

    Between overs Ul-Haq and Shafique look like they're trying to persuade the umpires it's too dark but the former does little to back up his case by bashing Leach for two fours.

    The end may still be nigh. It's gloomy.

    I tried a 'surprise' bouncer once to Graham Gooch on a very flat pitch at Chelmsford. He smashed it virtually out of the park.

    I'm struggling to think of a time I've met anyone famous' dad. I might have to widen this to relatives. My esteemed colleague Ffion Wynne played cricket with Gareth Bale's cousin.

    Shafique moves to 88 by pulling away another Stokes low bouncing bouncer.

    I think the umpires might be concerned with the light because of Stokes bowling all those bouncers.

    The sun is still shining but we have our first sighting of the light meter. That's not good news for hopes of getting in many more overs.

    That's got me thinking who is the most famous dad I've ever met...

    Shafique 80, Ul-Haq 69

    Stokes, collar turned up with the spectators getting even more excited around him, stomps in. It's exclusively short but Pakistan's batters have enough time to tuck into a sarnie nevermind play a defensive block.

    Sometimes by sheer force of personality Ben Stokes can induce an error.

    I've not quite synced up my TMS commentary and TV pictures up right. The commentary is slightly ahead. Every now and again I get excited by a shot of "catch it" from an England fielder. It's yet to be a real chance.
