It feels like once an over, Ollie Robinson is finding the outside edge. He's getting enough out of the surface where the batters are going to be uncomfortable facing him.

Pak 19-2

Well, Rob Key is still involved Alex so perhaps he's learned from past mistakes?

More good bowling from Ollie Robinson, in any case, as he switches back to round the wicket and gets another just past Imam-ul-Haq's edge.

He finds it last ball but it falls short of the slips and sneaks through for four.

Pak 14-2

Beauty from Gus Atkinson.

He pushes the ball that bit fuller to Adbullah Shafique and is so nearly rewarded.

It shapes away pleasingly but snakes past the outside edge as the batter pushes forward.

Ollie Robinson is such a good bowler. He had a wonderful time at Lord's, picked up that niggle but there's absolutely no question about this man's ability to bowl in any form of cricket.

He's got a point to prove about his fitness in this series.

Pak 11-2

Maiden over from Ollie Robinson, his first of the morning, as he stays over the wicket to Imam-ul-Haq.

Immaculate line from the England seamer but the Pakistan opener is solid in his defence after being rapped on the glove to start the over.

Pak 11-2

Just four from Gus Atkinson's first over but Abdullah Shafique does produce another impressive bit of batting with a very brave leave.

The ball nips back from Atkinson, Shafique leaves on length and it fizzes just a couple of centimetres over the top of the stumps.

Early change of bowling as Gus Atkinson is brought on for Jofra Archer, who didn't concede a run but didn't quite find his rhythm in his first two overs.

Joe Root has seen enough for now, though.

Pak 7-2

The end of another successful over from Ollie Robinson.

Ball-tracking shows that lbw was about as plumb as it is possible to get. Pitching in line, hit bang in front and going on to hit halfway up middle.

Abdullah Shafique, the first right-hander we've seen today, is the new batter for Pakistan and is off the mark with an inside edge down to fine leg.

That swung very late and it was very full. As a left hander, when you get donked on the pad, you know it's done.

Ollie Robinson is finding that brave full length that isn't that easy to find at Headingley.

WICKET

Masood lbw b Robinson 5 (Pak 6-2)

No doubt about that one!

Change of angle from Ollie Robinson, over the wicket and he swings one back to hit Shan Masood plumb in front.

Full ball, Masood played all round it and is hit on the shin. He wisely decides against a review. More fantastic bowling from Robinson.
