Abrar Ahmed's dismissal of Ollie Pope is the wicket of the day so far. Pitching on leg and clipping off. A wonderful delivery.

The wicket has had plenty in it for the spinners, which has made for a an even contest between bat and ball.

Rachel T: The whole BazBall effect has me whistling, ‘I Ain’t Worried’ when watching the England Mavericks.

For those just joining us here is a quick recap of what has happened so far:

• England resumed on 7-1 and added a further 51 runs before Ben Duckett was trapped lbw by Nauman Ali for 26.
• Nauman that removed Joe Root for a golden duck next ball, the former skipper edging through to Salman Agha at first slip.
• Ollie Pope scored his 11th Test half-century before being clean bowled by a beauty from Abrar Ahmed.
• Harry Brook is unbeaten on 38 and Ben Stokes 25 not out as England reach 140-4 at lunch - still 164 runs behind Pakistan's first innings total.

Stokes is bristling and Brook is playing beautifully, but Pakistan hold the initiative at the moment.

Thanks, Matthew.

That was a brilliant morning session, leaving the match perfectly poised.

England were wobbling at 98-4 but Harry Brook and Ben Stokes have steadied the ship.

If you tune into TMS at lunch you'll hear an interview with Ben Stokes about his year, one in which he's made such an impressive start to life as captain.

Here Tom Mallows will take you through the interval and the play beyond.

It's been a riveting morning's cricket, which has been very competitive. We're still no further to knowing who will win. It's Test match cricket at its most beguiling.

There ends a really brilliant session of cricket.

Pakistan pushed England onto the back foot. Brook and Stokes refused to back down.

Harry Brook, keen to ensure he's not overshadowed by his skipper, creams the pace of Mohammad Wasim Jnr.

This will probably be the last over before lunch.

Arjun Singh: Surely England’s song lyrics of the entire Stokes era have been “Don’t stop me now, I’m having such a good time…”?

Stokes is motoring. He cracks one sweep which whistles past the ear of short leg and to the boundary in a flash. He rocks back later in the over and thumps the ball through the off side.

The England skipper is onto 25 from 30 balls.

He skipped down the pitch like he was facing an off-spinner!

That was real intent from Ben Stokes, who pumped Wasim down the ground.

Here comes Ben Stokes - charging down the pitch like we saw in the summer! He tries it once and misses. He goes for it again and nails the ball for four.

I don't think that record-breaking six is far away.

All over in Brisbane!

Australia have beaten South Africa inside six sessions. It is the eighth shortest Test of all time, but just a little longer than England's defeat in India last year.

Australia finished on 35-4 with extras the highest scorer on 19!

There's going to a break from Pakistan's all spin attack just before the break. Mohammad Wasim Jnr returns.

There are 15 minutes to go until lunch but we know by now that England will not change the way they are playing.

The wily Nauman continues to fizz the ball down to Brook with two slips lurking.

This is such a better surface compared to the one we saw in Rawalpindi. There is balance between bat and ball, there's hope for the bowlers.

In Brisbane, five untimely wides from Anrich Nortje have released the pressure on Australia. They need just five more now.

Abdullah Shafique is good to continue. We're back under way.
