Buttler is making mistakes and some of the fielding comical. Was it Anderson who chucked it to the wrong end for a run out in the last over? Then Buttler managed to miss the target completely throwing to the other end. Sloppy.

Masood aiming to be the first opener to carry his bat in a test in England since Rahul Dravid for India in 2011.

Interesting pitch - there's turn already and Pakistan have two spinners

England struggled against Chase in the WI series and he's only step up from a club bowler

92-4 not good but Pope & Buttler have potential to go on. Think even a 260-280 first dig score will be OK given our bowling.

I admire your optimism, we are going to fold like a Fiat 127 , all over by lunchtime Saturday.

Yeah, I think we'll save the follow-on and bowl them out cheaply second time round but can't see us getting 300 in the fourth innings on that pitch.

This is proper test cricket. If we haven't given the Pakistanis 50 runs too many we'd be bang in this game instead of chasing it
