    Has Jamie from London (06:32) been in the kitchen again? Good lad, keep fetching those spoons.

    England are running through Pakistan and Root has got two in an over. They're eyeing a big lead.

  3. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 52.5 overs

    Mohammad Ali c Crawley b Root 0 (Pak 169-8)

    And he is out for a duck!

    This is remarkable stuff. Mohammad Ali has feathered an edge via his back pad straight to Zak Crawley at first slip.

  4. Postpublished at 06:46 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2022

    Mohammad Ali is the new batter. He has been bumped up the order a bit.

    For the first time today, we can hear the Barmy Army. Something has woken them up.

    It was a miscued drive from Salman and Pakistan are crumbling. As easy as you like for Stokes at short mid-wicket.

  7. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 52.1 overs

    Salman c Stokes b Root 4 (169-7)

    And Root strikes first ball! Pakistan are crumbling here.

    It is another rotten shot as Agha Salman lofts the ball straight to Ben Stokes at short mid-wicket.

    Faheem Ashraf is the new batter as Joe Root comes into the attack for the first time today.

    Such a strange shot, there was no need to play that. He comes down the pitch and smashes it straight to Robinson.

    England, despite being 40-50 runs short in the first innings, find themselves ahead.

    Carl Carritt: Go put the kettle on please Jamie (06:32).

    I think he might have done, Carl.

    That's a really poor dismissal as far as Pakistan are concerned.

    So another wicket goes down, it's been England's morning.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 52 overs

    Nawaz c Robinson b Leach (Pak 169-6)

    Jack Leach does it again!

    It is a pretty soft dismissal though. Mohammad Nawaz attempts a drive but can only smash the ball straight to Ollie Robinson at mid-off. Easy as you like.

    You can't say TMS doesn't cover the big issues.

    Mark Wood is continuing to steam in without reward as yet. He is 0-33 from 10 overs.

    Well I can count 13. We would have definitely missed some.

    There are a few more people in than when I was last here. It's difficult to get there. How many modes of transport do you think we've seen over the last few days? I'm going to include everything in this. It's in the double digits isn't it?

    We saw camels, we saw donkeys, a magnificent oxen that was following lane discipline, car, van, truck, tractor, bus, feet, push-bike, motorbike.

    Twice left the room to get something from the kitchen, both times - the first ball I see on return is a Leach wicket!

    Jack Leach gets his customary kiss on the head by Joe Root after that wicket.

    Mohammad Nawaz is the new batter. This has been England's morning so far.

    That's just the perfect delivery. It was a brilliant delivery, especially after being hit for a boundary, to hold his line and length and to hold his nerve.

    That was an absolute jaffa. Pitching around about leg and hitting middle and off.

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 49.5 overs

    Rizwan b Leach 10 (Pak 165-5)

    Bowled him! That is a beauty from Jack Leach.

    It pitches on leg, squares Mohammad Rizwan up, grips, turns and hits middle and off.

    England are jubliant.
