Stokes out 228-6, six wickets for the debutant.
….Abrar all 7 wickets so far on debut. 231-7, difficult to know what a decent total is on this pitch; 300 looking unlikely.
Haven't seen that much, but not a 230-7 pitch I don't think
Some spin but nothing for the seamers, and England picked three of them plus Stokes...
….terrific effort from Woods gets England up to 281 all out which looked unlikely at one point. I think we can say this match won’t be drawn.
70 or 80 short of par I reckon. Will need the spinners to bowl really well
All for the positive approach but they need to look at how many wickets fell sweeping. Hit the ball down the ground

Highlights :
We know that England's current mind set means that we might lose games, and of course we haven't lost this game with it being at close of day one. But I'm still all for it. If we didn't play attacking cricket in the first test we wouldn't have won it. Keep it going England, even if we have a few blips along the way.

Yes, shame he got injured. Hopefully another chance will come for him.
….I reckon a few will get up and be pleasantly surprised to see Pakistan all out for 202, some collapse from 140-2.

Could be some fireworks with the bat after lunch! Expect runs and wickets a plenty.
I'm one of those. I've switched it on with my son and he couldn't get his head around the fact that we're not trailing.
Fully described my experience, what a pleasant moment turning the TV on and seeing Ben Duckett padded up
