    55.4 bowled him! Much fuller from Amir, keeps a fraction low as it takes the under-side of Cook's defensive push and somehow torpedoes through to his off stump! What a timely wicket for Pakistan, but the end of a tremendous innings from England's captain ... 210/2

    6.6 tim-ber! Amir blows through Hales and Pakistan have their first! What a cracking delivery this was, full and swooping back on Hales to shatter his stumps and send Amir off on that familiar arms-spread celebratory gallop. Bit of a Khyber Pass between Hales' bat and pad but it was still pretty scintillating stuff 25/1

    150.2 full-length offcutter, Root has a big wind-up and a slog across the line. It skies up in the air off the toe, and who wants this? Hafeez gallops in from the deep, clings on well with a dive, and that is the end of a brilliant career-best innings! 577/7

    63.6 goes full, entices the drive... and this time Sarfraz bags the catch! Up goes the finger from Rod Tucker and although Vince looks a bit bemused and goes to have a chat with his partner, he eventually decides not to bother with a review. His bat hit the floor as it came through but Snicko suggests there was a thin feather of bat, too. Vince again fails to convince and England are three down 238/3

    85.1 bowled him! Ballance looked to have done the hard work and bedded into his innings, but out comes a flimsy cross-batted waft at a short ball, angled in from over the wicket. A decent delivery that moved late and cramped him for room on the cut, but why change what had been serving him so well? A disappointing end to a doughty knock 311/4

    113.4 and he has a wicket! Woakes just punches one back to the Yasir. Did it stop in the pitch? Was back of a length, Woakes looking to play through the leg side but just offered a simple return catch 414/5

    130.1 round the wicket, down the leg side, an avid appeal from Sarfraz for a gloved catch, and well, we've not looked at DRS yet in this match, so why not? Let's review it. There is definitely a small mark on Hot Spot, and there's a spike on Snicko too ... but the umpire is not entirely sure they match up. Lots of deliberation and different angles, but it's going to come down to gut instinct for the third umpire, Joel Wilson, and eventually he's seen enough to be convinced! 471/6

    31.3 he's found long-on! What a dismissal in the circumstances. Moeen has done it again. Younis down the pitch with a huge swipe, comes off the bottom of the bat, hasn't got the distance, and Hales steadies under the catch at long-on. Was he defeated a touch in the flight? He wasn't completely to the pitch 102/4

    50.2 huge appeal for lbw! A full ball that nips back and takes Shafiq on the back leg. Given not out and Cook reviews. Was there an edge? Don't think so, took the front pad first then the back pad so that was the two noises. Angling down leg side? No, it's smashing leg stump. This will be overturned, and it's seven down 167/7
