Asad Shafiq 27(48)
24.3
Woakes to Shafiq, out Caught by Cook!! Terrific from Woakes and England have their fourth wicket. This is a big wicket as well - coming just before lunch on Day 1. A beaut and Shafiq had no answers, kept coming back with the angle and then shaped away late, Shafiq had to play at that, gets opened up and the edge is found. It flew at a very good height to Cook - who nearly made a meal of it, thankfully for him, the ball bobbled straight up and he grabs it on second attempt. Shafiq c Cook b Woakes 27(48) [4s-5]
