    Rizwan is the type of player who doesn't like to be shackled.

    Whisper it but have England been a bit... traditional this morning? There haven't been funky fields. No out-of-the-box thinking with the ball. Just steady line and length from England's two seamers. That is by no means a criticism.

    Another maiden. It's quiet in Rawalpindi. There have been two runs in the past six overs

    It's been the most benign surface and to force a victory from it would be something for England.

  4. Pak 90-3published at 27 overs

    Target 343

    I forgot about Harry Brook... Pope could be struggling.

    That wicket is the first time Imam-ul-Haq has failed to make a hundred in an innings on this ground. Such a big wicket. Rizwan is probably the next crucial one England want to tick off. He can bat long but quickly too.

    Shakeel gets a run but Rizwan is still on nought.

    I don't know who's going to be man of the match. Could be Harry Brook or it could be Andy Zaltzman.

  6. Pak 89-3published at 26 overs

    Need 254 runs to win

    I'm calling Ollie Pope for Player of the Match now. He got a hundred and, standing in for Ben Foakes as keeper - something he hardly ever does, has been very solid with the gloves.

    It's another maiden, albeit a wicket one. Does that mean England will get another in the next over?

    Mohammad Rizwan is the new batter, not Azhar Ali. That may say something about the state of Azhar's finger.

    That's significant, Imam batted really well last night. Good catch from Pope, everything is so important at this stage.

    BIG!

    Imam ul-Haq, the man with three centuries on this very ground, is out. Jimmy Anderson has got him caught down the leg side. Once again, you have to give credit to stand-in keeper Ollie Pope. It's not the hardest leg-side catch you'll ever see but he's tumbled away to get there.

    They say you often get a wicket after three consecutive maidens. Well, we've had two now as Robinson follows on from Anderson. Shakeel eases forward solidly in defence.

    As soon as the ball goes past the fielder you know it's going for four.

    Livingstone will return to the UK on Tuesday. I assume this means we won't see him bowl today. Jimmy Anderson majestically cruises through a maiden.

    If Pakistan bat the day, they win the game but it's all about mind games today.

    We've had news from the England camp.

    Liam Livingstone has been ruled out of the remainder of the tour after the knee injury he suffered in day two.

    A crushing disappointment for a man making his Test debut.

    On this day in 2013 a certain fiery red head made his England Test debut. An omen, perhaps?

    Target 343

    James Anderson starts from the other end, bowling more conventionally than his bouncer ploy last night. He also beats the edge and concedes a boundary. We have hardly seen the ball going past the bat all match.

    There was another England win last night too.

    Their women cruised to a comprehensive 143-run win over the West Indies in the first one-day international in Antigua.

    Having been put in to bat, Nat Sciver's 90 from 96 balls propelled England to 307-7.

    England slipped to 127-4 before a partnership of 102 between Sciver and Danni Wyatt, who made 68, steered the game back in the tourists' favour.

    Spinner Charlie Dean then took 4-35 as West Indies slumped to 165 all out with 9.3 overs remaining.

    It was an impressive return to the side for Sciver, who took a break from the game after the Commonwealth Games in August, and a first win for England under their new coach, Jon Lewis.

    Full report.

    Four runs may have come but England will be encouraged by this first over. One more ball beats the bat. Another rises to take Imam's glove.

    And the next one is edgily hit for four. Lively start.

    Ollie Robinson beats Imam ul-Haq's edge first ball!

    We're under way.
