Pak 33-2

Ollie Robinson continues for now with things have just settled down a touch. There doesn't seem to be the expectation a wicket is going to fall every ball at least.

How's stat?!

Jordan Cox was up to the stumps for a combined 40 overs from pacers Shane Snater and Jamie Porter during his only game as a keeper for Essex in the County Championship this summer (12th-15th June v Leicestershire).

Ollie Robinson has taken a wicket with the first ball of the innings twice in this series. He did it with the first ball of the series and again today.

Only fives times in the history of Test cricket has any bowler done that.

Pak 22-2

Awais 18, Masood 2

Jofra Archer is firing it everywhere at pace, which arguably makes it even less pleasant for the Pakistan batters.

Pak 18-2

England, backed by those in the Hollies, appeal after Ollie Robinson darts one into Shan Masood's pads. Masood does not look comfortable at all but this one is too high.

The next from Robinson jags away. He has it on a string.

Pak 18-2

Trail by 302

Jofra Archer's second over is much better than his first. Azan Awais fishes at one and edges the next as Archer reaches 90mph. The edge falls short of Joe Root and Awais responds by driving the final ball for four.
