    45.2 timbeeeeeeeeerrrrr! You miss, the bowler hits! Imam walks off to a standing ovation, a fabulous, career-best 151; he'd been equal to everything England came up with, but finally, perhaps tiring, he's stepped away and missed a slash at a fast, straight one from Curran 310/6
    0.6 that's the line, finds the edge - and take at the second attempt! A phat edge pushing forwards, zipping to Root at chest height, the ball bar-of-soaps up to his right, but gently enough for a comfortable grab. Woakes strikes early 7/1

    4.5 crackerjack! Top of off, sir, top of off! Woakes breaches Babar's defences with a pinpoint delivery, on a line and then nipping like a barracuda out of the murk to clatter off - pow right in the kisser! I think we can stop worrying about Woakes... 27/2
    16.4 fancy footwork from Curran! And this is out! That's tremendous alertness from the bowler, the ball was stabbed down into the crease, a not-entirely-convincing call for the single, but the bowler reacted far quicker than poor Haris. A side-foot into the timbers, and England have their breakthrough! 95/3
    27.3 spanked high into the air, Jordan, the substitute, steadies himself at fine leg and holds onto a fine swirling chance! Plunkett rolled his fingers on that one, lured the injudicious hoick across the line, and England have their opening 162/4
    42.3 gottim, slugged to mid-off via a top edge! Roy backpedals and takes it smartly above his head. That's the partnership broken, Woakes the man for England, just when Asif looked primed to go on and make a statement score in these last ten overs 287/5
    46.4 short stuff does! Top-edged straight up and Woakes collects jogging towards midwicket! A brief tryst for Imad, as sizzling as it was short-lived and Woakes has his fourth 322/7
    48.2 full and smacking the pads, was it outside leg? Paul Reiffel isn't interested and the ball squirts to third man - but England review, hoping probably to avoid the four leg byes as much as anything. Struck in line, according to Hawk-Eye! Good use of the DRS and Faheem is off, hit on the toe just the right side of things as far as England are concerned! 335/8

    49.2 short and top-edged, into the off side where Willey sprints across and dives... WHADDACATCH! Full stretch, one hand and it sticks! Most of the damage has been done but Willey isn't a man to give up, Pakistan nine down now 348/9

    17.3 shortish, slashed - gone, taken at point! Roy's fun is over! There's increasingly been a temptation for these two to try and obliterate every ball, and this was just a wonky hack from Roy, the adrenalin pumping. Looped up and simply taken by Asif to end an opening stand of 159 from 105 balls 159/1
    28.4 played on! Bairstow departs after one swing too many! And he has a flick at the stumps, too, frustrated that his time in the middle is over... Junaid becomes the second Pakistan bowler to get a measure of revenge for their pasting, skidding one into off via the bottom edge as YJB aimed another vengeful swing across the line! 234/2
    34.3 tries to clear the infield - but picks out mid-off! Root attempting to push his strike rate even further but only succeeds in ending his stay. A wicket for Imad, but the celebrations from Pakistan are pretty subdued 278/3
    41.2 belted back down the pitch, into the timbers, and Stokes has been run out! It clipped Shaheen's heel on the way through, and it's a bonus breakthrough for Pakistan! Stokes grins as he departs. It was just one of those things 324/4
