    Pakistan are imploding here! A dream debut for Rehan.

    WICKET

    Shakeel c Leach b Ahmed 53 (Pak 177-6)

    Rehan Ahmed has another! It's Saud Shakeel too. The 18-year-old has his arms wide running away in celebration after a top-edged sweep is caught.

    Ahmed has change this session on its head. A star in the making?

  4. Pak 176-5

    Shakeel 53, Salman 0

    So much rests on Saud Shakeel now, plus new batter Salman Agha. Get those two and England could wrap up the innings quickly.

    There are seven minutes to go until tea.

    Just waking up in the mornings and not finding us 17-4 or similar nonsense has been my highlight this year.

  6. Pak 176-5

    Lead by 126

    Rehan Ahmed beats the bat again! Salman Agha is beaten first up.

    Leg-spin. You've got to love it.

  7. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Rehan has picked up another big wicket. Where has he been all day?! First Babar and now Rizwan. Two big big wickets.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Rizwan c Foakes b Ahmed 7 (Pak 176-5)

    But Rehan Ahmed gets Mohammad Rizwan the very next ball! He's ripped a leg-spinner which takes the Pakistan wicketkeeper's edge. A beautiful peach among a fridge of pies.

    Ahmed has Babar and Rizwan. Two HUUUGE scalps.

  9. dropped catch

    Rizwan dropped on 7

    Down! Rehan Ahmed should have two. Zak Crawley spills it at extra cover.

  10. Pak 173-4

    Shakeel 52, Rizwan 5

    Ollie Pope is so close at short leg to Jack Leach. He's trying to react and catch the ball straight off the bat when Rizwan comes forward in defence.

    It would be incredible were he to do it.

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

    There's a part of me that can't help but think Rehan is bowling from the wrong end. He should be bowling from the far end into the rough to try and create more pressure.

  12. Pak 173-4

    Lead by 123

    That first Test of the summer seems so long ago. Matthew Potts getting Kane Williamson on debut, Jonny Bairstow catching flies. I'm getting emotional like I'm looking back on the past 12 months at 8pm on Christmas Day.

    My most memorable moment of 2022? Got to be the first time I ever saw cricket at Lord's watching the first two days of the England v New Zealand Test, the first Test under Stokes and McCullum. An incredible experience. I can't wait to repeat for the Ashes next year!

  14. Eng 168-4

    Lead by 118

    Saud Shakeel has a slurp on one of those energy gels at the end of the over. He's clearly planning on booking in for the long haul.

    Back to Rehan Ahmed...

    Oliver Camp: Genius from Stokes: deprive Babar of the chance to bring up 50 in style by giving him the overthrows, thus tempting him to play an aggressive shot straight afterwards.

  16. 50 runs

    50 for Saud Shakeel

    Saud Shakeel nudges a couple to take him to his fourth fifty of the series.

    He has been very impressive.

    Stokes was clearly worried Rehan will run through the Pakistan middle-lower order and the game won’t be enough of a spectacle. We need to be chasing 300 to keep it interesting.

  18. Pak 164-4

    Lead by 114

    Rehan Ahmed's dad is on his feet absolutely beaming. His 18-year-old son has just got Babar Azam out.

    Let's just not tell anyone how he did it.

    Mohammad Rizwan is in.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Pope has clung on to that! His hands will sting for a while. Babar cannot believe that.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Babar c Pope b Ahmed 54 (Pak 164-4)

    Rehan Ahmed gets Babar Azam with a horrid long hop! It's an awful delivery and Babar has smashed it straight to mid-wicket.

    Ahmed will take it, of course he will, but that's a miserable way for one of the best batters in the world to get out. Babar could have hit it anywhere.
