    Imam wants to leave. They don't want to be out there right now.

  2. Pak 79-2

    How crucial could that Jennings chance be? England will need everything to go their way if they are to win this game.

    Here comes Joel Wilson's light meter... and it looks like we can carry on for at least one more over.

  3. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It was like those claw machines at the fairground. Jennings thought he had it but he just didn't close his hands enough.

  4. dropped catch

    Saud Shakeel dropped on 22

    Ooh, a chance for England!

    Saud Shakeel clips Jack Leach straight to Keaton Jennings at short leg. It is fired into his hands but goes at such a pace it bounces straight out of his grasp.

    That will go down as a drop, but it was a tough chance.

    Sometimes they stick, sometimes they don't.

  5. Waqar Younis
    Former Pakistan pace bowler on TMS

    It's not an issue to survive on this pitch. There are no issues against the off-spinner.

  6. Pak 77-2

    Oooh, Joe Root gets one to keep a little low but Imam Ul-Haq does well to watch the ball all the way and fend it off on the back foot.

  7. Pak 75-2

    Joe Root is now into the attack.

    Will he bowl some bouncers again as well?

    The Pakistan batters are putting their helmets on...

    If England don't like the term 'Bazball', maybe there's a massive marketing opportunity with a certain burger chain? 'McCricket' anyone? Other burger restaurants are available.

    John, Swansea.

  9. Pak 73-2

    It is starting to look gloomy out there now. Joel Wilson's light meter may make an appearance soon.

    Jack Leach will continue for now. How England would love to pinch another wicket before close.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    We might have 10 or 15 more minutes of play.

  11. Pak 73-2

    That's a thumping shot from Imam Ul-Haq as he shows some nifty footwork to skip down the track and smashes Will Jacks back down the ground for a one-bounce four.

    Everyone talking about whether the declaration helps England win or risks defeat are missing the point. The point of Bazball is to do whatever is most entertaining in the moment. In this case that's bat like maniacs for 35 overs and then suddenly declare when nobody was expecting it. They're not trying to win test matches, they're trying to save test cricket. By making it weird.

    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    These are useful runs.

  14. Pak 69-2

    It is twin spin now for England as we see a shot of another gorgeous Rawalpindi sunset.

    Pakistan are doing a good job at picking off the bad balls. It is Imam Ul-Haq who helps himself this time, smashing a short and wide ball from Jack Leach through point.

  15. Pak 62-2

    These two are still scoring at a decent rate despite the mildly perilous position.

    Saud Shakeel leaps onto a short delivery from Will Jacks and clatters the ball away for four. He is 22 from 30 balls, Imam Ul-Haq is 27 from 36.

  16. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    Those two overs are the shortest two overs James Anderson has bowled on record.

  17. The floodlights are coming on - and so is Will Jacks, who took 6-161 in the first innings.

    That was only earlier this morning by the way. The game has raced on so quickly since then.

  18. Waqar Younis
    Former Pakistan pace bowler on TMS

    England might have to bring on spinners at both ends soon because of the light.

  19. Pak 55-2

    That's better from Saud Shakeel. He charges Leach again and this time manages to clear the in-field and clatter the ball away for another boundary.

  20. Pak 51-2

    Ohhh, hands on heads time for England.

    Saud Shakeel charges Jack Leach but miscues his drive and it flashes between two catchers in the on-side and away for four.
