    16.4 gone. Hafeez falls. Woakes has another. Looking for a tad too much was Hafeez. Woakes bangs this one in on a shortish length and Hafeez plays a tame stroke. Gets some outswing - even from that length - but Hafeez wanted to flick through square leg. The ball gets big on him and takes the top edge. Lobs up towards square leg. Bairstow called early, and took it comfortably, fielders hustling out of his way 51/2

    12.1 tasty lifter from Woakes, snicks the outside edge - that's gottim! England finally get their reward and it is the formerly luckless Woakes who strikes. Decent ball in the channel, bounced a bit on Masood, although he might have left it on length anyway. Lord's sighs in contentment at last 38/1

    27.4 fires in the yorker, he's knocked Azhar off his feet... and up goes Kumar Dharmasena's finger! Ball clenches his fists in celebration of his first Test wicket, but he'll have to wait a minute or two to fully enjoy it as Azhar reviews the decision. On second glance it is quite leg side, this could still be tight - no, it's clipping! The luck is with England this time, Azhar shakes his head as he trudges off. Hawk-Eye adjudged it to be juuuuuuuuuust shaving leg stump and that's enough to support Dharmasena's original call. Ball has his first Test scalp 77/3

    43.5 gone. Broad strikes. Big wicket. Younis picks out square leg. Exaggerated inswing on middle, Younis, who is standing outside his crease, uses hard hands to flick and hits is straight to square leg who takes it in front of his chest, hands reverse cupped. Just when this stand looked set 134/4

    95.5 another one goes, straight through him! Broad gets Misbah and the collapse gains momentum... Seemed to beat him for pace, bit of inward movement off the pitch and it rattled into the top of middle and off. Misbah will get an ovation for a fine innings but that is a big blow to Pakistan's chances of getting many more on the board 316/9

    84.2 uh oh. What a way to go. Woakes strikes. Swing does it. Outswing does it. A good length outside off, moving away. Shafiq wants to play but sees how much the ball is swinging and do decides to withdraw his bat. Does so a tad too late as the ball snicks the under edge of the bat and carries to Bairstow, just about. End of quite a special innings for Shafiq, too. Ah, he'll rue a missed opportunity though 282/5

    86.6 bowled im of the last ball of the day. Poor shot. Rahat has done his job though. But that improves things for England. Short and wide outside off, Rahat gets on top of the bounce and inside-edges one onto his stumps. What an end to the day. Woakes gets another. 282/6

    94.4 short and slapped... straight to backward point! Woakes has five-for and Sarfraz has fizzled out rather disappointingly. That was a ball to be given a darn good thrashing but he didn't get over the cut and it sailed to Vince, who held on this time falling to his right 310/7

    1.6 edged and taken. Hales falls. Rahat has Hales. Superb delivery, impeccable lines and Hales nicks to third slip. Rather full outside off, but forces Hales to play because of inswing off the previous deliveries. Hales wafts and gets a thick outside edge, which carries comfortably to third slip who takes it in front of his midriff. Sensational start for Pakistan 8/1

    28.3 oh no. Root falls. Not a great shot, I must say. Tossed up outside off, the flight was probably an invitation. He settled down on one knee and looks to slog sweep this over midwicket. Maybe a bit of extra bounce but Root skies this through a top edge. Hafeez wanders under the ball at midwicket and takes it, as awkwardly as possible. Job done though for Hafeez. Great opportunity missed, looked so good 118/2

    34.5 given this time. Dharmasena takes an eternity but eventually gives it. Vince takes even longer, but decides to review. No bat on that. Very flat on leg, no turn. But Vince goes back again, this time misses his flick. Strikes him flush on the pads in front of leg. And that dubious umpire's call is displayed as the ball clips the leg stump. Vince has to go. Trudges off, exasperation in his face. That would have been not out had it been given not out on the field. Didn't look like a confident decision at all, but not a howler so Vince has to accept his fate 139/3

    36.6 gone. This looked out. Beautiful from Yasir. Ballance has a word with Cook but then walks off. So Ballance's return is subdued. Superb bowling though. Floats this one up towards off, gets just enough turn to draw Ballance forward and beat him on the inside edge. Smashes his pads right in front. Beautiful bit of bowling, flight, loop and just enough turn. Not much Ballance could do. 147/4

    61.2 given by umpire Joel Wilson. I would not have been giving that. Moeen reviews immediately. A flat legspinner outside off spins back in sharply. Moeen gets low on one knee and looks for the conventional hard sweep. May have struck him outside the line. A spike as the ball passes bat but the third umpire says "may be the scraping of the feet". "Happy that no bat involved" says the umpire. Impact - Umpire's call. Stumps - Umpire's call. Moeen has to go. Just a tad too much doubt I felt. Again, fine margins in cricket and Yasir Shah has five in his first Test outside Asia, what an effort 232/7

    2.4 Broad strikes and lets out a roar. The Professor's lecture is over (it never started, in fact). Out for a 11-ball duck. This is dug in shorter and outside off. Hafeez could have left it alone on length and line. Instead, he chases, does so half-heartedly and guides it to Root at second slip. Smart catch, he clasped it at chest height. Not a great shot, considering Cook had deployed a three-man slip cordon to add to a gully 2/1

    17.5 pushed across outside off, takes the edge... and Cook clasps it low at first slip! Nicely set up by Woakes and that is a vital breakthrough for England, who need to induce some jitters in the Pakistan line-up. Brought a couple back in, pitched one up for the drive, then drew his length back to nick the batsman off 44/2

    27.5 on the stumps, Azhar walks across and misses this time... and after a long deliberation from Dharmasena, up goes the finger! Azhar reviews, however, just as he did with a tight lbw in the first innings. This is going to be close, you can see a little bit of leg as he moved into line, no bat involved and the impact was in line... it's clipping again! Another really marginal call for Azhar, he walks off shaking his head again but it's in the book and England have a third 59/3

HUGE wicket for England and a little bit of revenge for Moeen, who tossed it up in the knowledge he had a man out there, encouraged Misbah to go after him and gets his reward. Lord's erupts! 60/4

    76.1 Woakes has his fifth of the innings? An appeal for caught behind. Wilson's finger goes up. Wahab wants to review. Lifter from Woakes, angled in on off, Wahab ducks into it and gets into an awkward tangle. The ball brushes the glove, the ball balloons behind, and YJB snaps it up. "Clearly hits the glove," confirms Tucker, the TV umpire. Second five-for of the match for Woakes. Surprising review, that. Wahab bags a pair while Woakes holds the ball up and gives the thumbs-up 214/8

Slightly back of a length, Cook fending on off stump, it was the tiniest of edges but he knew it had made contact, Dharmasena's finger went up pretty quickly and the England captain ruefully turned to head for the pavilion.

Yasir skips to his right, takes the catch with his feet off the ground and as ever wears a giant smile on his face like he's just stepping off the world's wildest roller coaster. Root, meanwhile, is walking back, head drooping and legs like lead 47/3

This time the juggle works for Younis, Vince is a goner, Wahab is steaming off on a victory lap and the chants of "Pakistan, Zindabad!" get louder at Lord's. The ball reversed just enough, down the slope and away from the stroke, nearly popped out by Younis went with it and kept his composure to hold on 96/4

    37.2 you have got to be kidding me! That turned from one edge of the pitch to the other! Shades of Warne bowling Strauss in 2005 as Ballance shuffles across to what he thinks is an easy flick behind square leg. The problem is, the ball, having pitched short of a length well outside off stump, bites into the footmarks and dances past his pads and with no more obstructions kisses the leg stump. Ah, the romance. 135/5

    70.5 he's bent over, a picture of despair, the realisation that all of his work, all of his toil, may well come to nothing. And as a result of what? A straight ball, that he should have whacked. Yasir has pitched it a little short, which is why Bairstow went back. He tries to play it with perhaps too closed a face, which allows for just a little gap between bat and pad, which is all the ball needed. Yasir has taken off on a run, in his mind, he has almost won the game for Pakistan 195/7

    39.1 well, you may concede that Moeen was looking to upset the main threat. To take him off his line, to rob him off his composure. Instead he loses his middle stump. Mooen races down the track and looks for the glory shot - straight back over the leggie's head. But he is beaten by flight and left forlorn in the middle of the pitch as the ball dips past the inside edge of his bat and clatters the stumps. Didn't get to the pitch of the ball. Not even close. A gift for Pakistan. 139/6

    74.4 forget about Finn! Ten in the match for Yasir and he races away in delight, and much like the man he resembles, slides onto the turf (though you wonder if Messi would look as ungainly or wearing so bright a smile) A loopy old delivery outside off to tempt the drive, Woakes feels he can hit it to get two or a boundary, so he goes for it with hard hands. Thick edge, caught by Younis at slip at his chest, sharply too 204/9

    71.1 it's a weakness that's been following his career lately. The worry over the short ball, and therefore the inadequacy against the fuller one. Broad flails at it, his feet drifting towards leg just a touch and his bat whirling down desperately. Amir breaks through the defences and then the stumps. A hush descends over Lord's as Amir smiles in relief. 196/8

    75.5 there it is! And it is Amir! Six years after the worst day of his life at Lord's, he claims the final England wicket to fall that gives Pakistan a victory at this venue for the first time since 1996. It's full, it's straight, its quick and it cleans up the debutant Jake Ball. You can see the emotion in his eyes as he spreads his arms and takes off. 207/10

Match Coverage

All Match News

  • 'I play every match like it's my last'

    Pakistan legspinner Yasir Shah relives his success at Lord's and talks about what it's like to be acclaimed as the world's best spinner

  • The hinterland of 40

    At Lord's we saw three in-between scores of the sort that are as likely to annoy the selectors as excite them

  • Misbah and the art of wicket acquisition

    Lord's presented us with a fine study in his methods, where bowler and captain showcase their styles while sticking to a larger plan

  • Age shall not wither

    Forty-two-year-old Misbah-ul-Haq, playing his first Test in England, struck a glorious century and stood out as a magnificent aberration

  • The unique phenomenon that is Pakistan cricket

    Their openers aren't reliable, their tail is weak, and their fielding isn't impressive. Does that stop them from winning Tests spectacularly? Of course not
