1st Test England v Pakistan, Lord's 14-18 July

[Aidan11]

I was right then.

[Aidan11]

Not sure that was a chance.

[backfootpunch]

Much better from Finn

Something has to give pakistan are going knowhere

[hopeforthebest]

The crowd are getting animated finally, the champagne must be taking effect.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like Broad will owe Finn an official apology at the close.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Going to get all the overs today, though in extra time.

[Aidan11]

James Anderson has just come to the crease for Lancashire.

[Aidan11]

Long time since I've heard the crowd this excited.

I'm surprised the stuffy Lord's stewards aren't getting rid of them all.

[alfie]

Finn has been scratchy in this match ; but he hasn't enjoyed much luck either.

Had Misbah dropped early on day one ; couple of close lbw decisions turned down - one given and overturned - and now Broad can't quite hold a chance off him...

Pakistan hanging on here : England might be starting to get a bit impatient for the seventh wicket but Yasir somehow surviving : and that lead is creeping up.

[Arthur Crabtree]

What's Pakistan's strategy here? Can't see any benefit in not trying to score off tired bowlers with an old ball. Unless they think it'll be easier with a new ball coming onto the bat.

[Aidan11]

That looked like a bump ball.

[Aidan11]

Surely Yasir can't last much longer.

[Aidan11]

Should have caught that.


We're getting sloppy.

[backfootpunch]

That was terrible

Could be very costly

[alfie]

Bairstow spoils his good match with the gloves as he spills a straightforward chance from Sarfraz !

Poor Finn again

That might be rather costly.
