Not out. As you were.

Ollie Pope misses a sweep and Marais Erasmus raises his finger!
Pope thinks about it for a second and reviews.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorIt's been another engrossing morning's cricket.
Eng 67-1published at 13.4 overs
Ooh, hello! This pitch is proving to be spicy already.
Zahid Mahmood has got two deliveries to spin sharply away from Ollie Pope and beat his outside edge.
Babar Azam brings in a couple more close fielders. They sense an opportunity here.

Good news. Imam-ul-Haq is able to continue.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialDuckett has hammered that into the short leg fielder, Imam, who is struggling. I think it's an ankle.
Eng 67-1published at 13.1 overs
This looks a painful one.
Zahid Mahmood is the new bowler and his first ball is swept by Ben Duckett straight into Imam-ul-Haq's ankle at short leg.
Imam looks in a bit of pain as the physio comes out to take a look.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was Pakistan that wanted the change in the pitch because they haven't got the seam attack they did. They beat South Africa on a green pitch not long ago but their fitness issues means they couldn't try it again.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialThere are a couple of green pitches on the square that, rumour has it, the groundsman was quite keen to use.
Eng 66-1published at 13 overs
Ben Duckett misses for the reverse sweep after a slower delivery from Abrar Ahmed.
A routine sweep brings a single, before Ollie Pope blocks the rest of the over.
England are being watchful of the young spinner.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialMerciless shot from Duckett as Ali dropped a bit short. You can't do that on this pitch, it's offering nothing for the quick bowlers.
If you do that to a batter of Duckett's stature, you're asking for trouble.

Eng 65-1published at 12 overs
Mohammad Ali is too short and on this slow pitch that's a freebie for Ben Duckett, who helps himself to four runs with a whippy pull shot through mid-wicket for four.
This feels like a quiet start by England but they are still scoring at 5.4 an over.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI really like this from Ben Duckett, put the debutant under pressure. Pakistan are going to have to change the field now.
Eng 55-1published at 11 overs
Ben Duckett immediately goes on the counter to put Abrar Ahmed under pressure, helping himself to back-to-back boundaries with two powerful sweeps into the leg-side to bring up the England 50.
Duckett is motoring along nicely. He has moved to 27 from 25 balls.
Eng 44-1published at 10 overs
The fact it is turning already is good for the game. We don't want another road like we saw in Rawalpindi, even tough England did manufacture a thrilling victory.
Just two runs off Mohammad Ali's latest over. He has been reasonably economical but I'd imagine Pakistan will go twin spin soon on this surface.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialIt's a huge toss for England to have won this morning, it's whether they can take advantage of it.
The pitch is cracked, it's very dry. It looks inevitable that it will turn quite sharply by the end of the game.
