First Test: England v Pakistan, Lord's.

[Durhamfootman]

it's usually Pakistan who drop their catches, but they looked razor sharp yesterday... took some belters

[captaincolly]

That Anderson wicket looked perilously close to a no ball.

[Durhamfootman]

Just seen clips of Cooks drops

Oh Alistair!

50 for Shadab

[yuppie]

Think Anderson has had 3 drops of his bowling and wood has had 2.

[andy]

Couple of quick wickets, looks like only one more wicket to take, with Babar looking unlikely to at least bat tonight

[Arthur Crabtree]

Will Babar be back?

[Arthur Crabtree]

An extra 30 runs or so now would really hurt.

[KipperJohn]

Very mixed performance from England- well played Pakistan.

Not sure it’s appropriate to call Stokes ‘the enforcer’ given circumstances off the field.

Useful late runs here from Pakistan.

Think wood had only one. The other bairstow literally watched it fly by him without moving

He has bowled hard though. 2 vital wickets with the old ball. Perhaps a different name though.....

True, we shall call it a missed chance........

Close of play, Pakistan on top, also with the overnight rest, chance that Babar may well be able to bat in the morning, and extend Pakistan's lead

Not sure about babar. I had turned off to put dinner on, but judging on what I've read it's unlikely he will bat.

That is a huge plus for them, if he bats
