    A great partnership.

    Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue are teasing Pakistan because the sun is out.

    I feel this could be a good day for Pakistan.

  2. Eng 264-9

    Gus Atkinson clearly wants to get a move on, as he takes a risky single from the final ball to make sure that he keeps the strike. A direct hit would've been close, but still Pakistan's frustration builds.

    That is good running from Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue. This is a rather frustrating last wicket partnership.

  4. Eng 261-9

    You can sense Pakistan's frustration now, as Josh Tongue edges again past the slips and they scamper another couple of runs.

    Yesterday morning, 250 was considered a good total on this wicket. I don't think that has changed - slight advantage to England.

  6. Eng 259-9

    A single each for Tongue and Atkinson off Mohammad Ali's latest over as the sun finally makes an appearance.

  7. Eng 257-9

    Abbas beats the outside edge with the final ball of the over, and there's still plenty out there to keep the bowlers interested. England will be happy to see that.

  8. Not out

    Missing leg stump. Josh Tongue survives.

  9. Pakistan review

    Is this his fifth?

    Abbas appeals enthusiastically for an lbw, but the umpire is unmoved. He manages to convince his skipper to send it upstairs.

    That just flew, so there was no chance for a second slip fielder.

  11. Eng 257-9

    How often did we see this yesterday?!

    Josh Tongue edges for four, but it would've gone straight to third slip had there been one in place.

  12. Eng 252-9

    Josh Tongue safely navigates the rest of the over, and here comes Muhammad Abbas, eyeing up a five-wicket haul.

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    Josh Tongue's role here is to be annoying and to just hang around. Frustrate Pakistan, keep them out there and add some important runs.

  14. Eng 252-9

    Or not!

    Josh Tongue gets the first runs of the day with a lovely controlled dab down to deep third.

  15. Right, let's get going. It's bright-ish at Lord's, and Mohammad Ali has the ball in hand.

    Josh Tongue is on strike but he'll be looking to get Gus Atkinson up the other end quickly, as he is unbeaten on 34.

  16. Ramiz Raja
    Former Pakistan captain on Test Match Special

    Pakistan will feel they're in the game. They have got a total that they can probably chase down.

  17. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    I like the fact that Muhammad Abbas is highlighting how county cricket has made him a better bowler.

    You can learn something in the sometimes belittled county cricket. It is not a bad nursery.

  18. Muhammad Abbas was the pick of Pakistan's bowlers yesterday, and with 4-56 to his name he has a chance to get on the Lord's honours board this morning.

    There was plenty of seam movement on offer, as expected at Lord's, and helpful overhead conditions. Ollie Robinson will certainly be hoping it hasn't changed too much overnight.

    Perfect Pakistan enjoy great start to day one with four England wickets
