Absolutely terrible from Root. Two terrible shots he's got out to in this match.

Nice of Joe to provide Pakistan with some catching practice.

Either don't play that shot or smack the thing. Don't just paddle it

Root's had a poor summer in the Tests. He has to take more responsibility.

Pakistan surely can't believe their luck. They must have thought that they would have to make an effort to win this match

Basically another one-day shot from Root. Rubbish!

I'd bring in Woakes next. He's the only one with any application and patience. The others think they're playing in a ODI!

Pakistan have bowled poorly and there is nothing in the pitch.

This has been an abysmal effort so far.

Just checked in to see who you all want dropping for the next Test and who to replace them with?

I think Vince is doing a great job here to be fair.  He's riding his luck a little but by scoring quickly like this it's putting pressure back on the bowlers.  They've only got 4 if we can score quickly off 1 or 2 of them they haven't got many options to change things, especially when Amir on day 2 was showing signs of struggling for fitness. If we score some big runs of Yasir it puts him under a lot of pressure and should make him a little more nervy about the variations.

Aside from that I think scoring at a bit of a lick is the right tactic, once the ball is 40-50 overs old this attack become a lot more dangerous, if we can get a big chunk out of the lead before that point then we have a better chance.  The problem is poor execution rather than a bad plan.

Less than 200 to get now....yes Pakistan are clear favourites but too early to write England off.

2nd session gonna be absolutely crucial....194 to win....i'll keep the faith...for now.

If we win why change....Anderson in for Finn...maybe and a big maybe possibility of 2nd spinner at OT.

Stokes has to come back into the team as he's now fit. Probably for Ball who looked ok, but only ok.
