Live Reporting

Tom Mallows and Sam Drury

  1. Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    This is Will Jacks' 63rd first-class innings and it's the highest he's ever batted.

  2. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer in Multan

    Before the game started, Ben Stokes said England would be flexible around Ollie Pope's keeping and batting commitments. I don't think anyone had this in mind...

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Abrar's loosening up already by the looks of it. Is he coming on already? He's a very scholarly looking fellow with those glasses.

  4. Eng 11-1

    Lead by 90

    Interesting. A change in the order for England with Will Jacks coming on at number three. Is that to give Ollie Pope a bit more of a break after keeping? Or sending Jacks out to pinch hit?

    Anyway, it's another maiden from Faheem, who has started well.

  5. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's frustrating for England because there was no real need for that. It was a straightforward piece of fielding for Abrar and Crawley was out by a yard.

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Abrar is celebrating like an aeroplane with his arms out.

  7. wicket

    WICKET

    Crawley run out (Abrar) 3 (Eng 11-1)

    Needless from Zak Crawley but you can't keep Abrar Ahmed out of the game!

    Crawley pushes the ball back towards mid-on and calls for the quick single, Abrar comes in and has a straightforward underarm throw at the stumps.

    He hits and Crawley is well short of his ground. A gift for Pakistan.

  8. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Wonderful shot. Very full, bit of width and Duckett, who's not a very tall man, sort of crouched as he played that. It was a squatting sort of cover drive.

  9. Eng 11-0

    Lead by 90

    Ali overcorrects with his length next ball but it is still too wide and this time Duckett drills the ball through extra cover for four more.

    England are up and running.

  10. Eng 7-0

    Lead by 86

    Short, wide and Duckett clobbers the ball over point for the first boundary of the innings.

    That was a really freebie from Mohammad Ali.

  11. Eng 3-0

    Lead by 82

    Faheem Ashraf bowls the second over and he starts with a maiden.

    Crawley unfurls a handsome cover drive but the off-side field is packed and the ball goes straight to the man set back slightly deeper in the ring.

    Ben in Hove: (07:24) Kallis and S Waugh.

    Digger in sunny Dagenham

    It's too late now, Digger, I've given you the answer...

  14. Eng 3-0

    Lead by 82

    It's Mohammad Ali bowling the first over and Zak Crawley is able to guide the first ball past gully for two.

    A punch to the fielder halfway back at point gives Crawley another single and that is it for the scoring in the over.

    There is a hint of swing for Ali, though. We didn't see that with the new ball in either side's first innings.

  15. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    It's a murky day. There's a darker feel to the clouds. I don't know if it's smog.

    Anyway, we've got a couple more modes of transport to add.

  16. Right then, the players are back out. It's Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett in the middle for England as they aim to build another match-winning lead.

    Here we go...

  17. Jack Leach of England is congratulated on the wicket of Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan during day two of the Second Test Match between Pakistan and England at Multan Cricket Stadium on December 10, 2022 in MultanGetty Images

    All smiles for England after that session. The morning went as well as they could possibly have hoped for.

    Will they cement their strong position in the match in the afternoon session?

  18. 10,000 runs and 50 wickets in Tests

    Jacques Kallis of South Africa celebrates his 45th century in his final test match during day 4 of the 2nd Test match between South Africa and India at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead on December 29, 2013 in Durban, South AfricaGetty Images

    Funny you should mention that, Wallace. We have the answer right here. Plenty of people got one or the other, this is the only one I could find to guess both correctly and it's anonymous!

    Anyway, well done whoever you are and great question Ben! It was indeed Jacques Kallis (13,289 runs and 292 wickets) and Steve Waugh (10,927 runs and 92 wickets).

    Plenty mentioned Sachin Tendulkar but he only took 46 wickets...

    Jacques Kallis will be one, any question about top Test all-rounders then he's always a safe answer! Steve Waugh for the other?

    Wallace Poulter: Can we get an update on Ben in Hove (07:24) concerning Joe Root on his way to being third to 10k runs and 50 wickets in Tests. Steve Waugh is one, but who on earth is the second?

  20. View from the press box

    Robinson got things started and then it was over to Jack Leach to really press home England's advantage.
