Haris Sohail 28(57)
20.6
Woakes to Haris Sohail, out Caught by Malan!! Edged and caught! Woakes finds the ideal line and length on this pitch - and Sohail obliges with the edge, straightforward catch at second slip and Malan swallows it up. Beautifully bowled by Woakes, on a good length and in that channel around off, Sohail was neither forward nor back as he prodded at that, at best, he was only going to edge it. Went with pretty hard hands and Malan couldn't have asked for an easier catch. Haris Sohail c Malan b Woakes 28(57) [4s-4]

13.5
Broad to Shafiq, 1 run, quick single, nicely taken. Short of a length, Shafiq was on his toes as he tapped this past the diving point fielder. Called for the single instantly and got good response from Haris Sohail
12.5
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, pitched right up wider outside off, again the line isn't threatening enough for Sohail to play at it
12.4
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, slanting in on off, accurate line and length this time, blocked well off the front foot
12.3
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, a bit of inward movement but it started from middle and leg, kept going down leg as Sohail tried to flick. Slight excitement from Bairstow but no bat
12.2
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, more erratic stuff from Anderson. He's been disappointing this morning so far and is probably getting frustrated now. Sprays this very wide outside off, easiest of leaves for Sohail
12.1
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, Anderson loses his radar, goes full but slips it well down leg. Bairstow does well to get across
11.6
Broad to Shafiq, no run, fuller and attacking the off stump, a hint of inswing as Shafiq defends this with a nice front foot stride
11.3
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, beauty! Good use of the crease from Broad, goes wider and angles this outswinger into Sohail who is forces to play at it. Jags away late to beat the outside edge. Nothing much a batsman can do about such deliveries, unplayable
11.2
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, floaty outswinger that comes in with the angle and shapes away, ignored by Sohail
11.1
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, well wide outside off, on a good length and moves further away. No shot offered by Sohail
10.6
Anderson to Shafiq, no run, expected length from Anderson after that boundary, switches to a good length on this outswinger. Left alone
9.5
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, lovely stuff from Broad, on a length and moves away a fraction off the pitch. Sohail had to play at this due to the angle and gets beaten on the outside edge
9.4
Broad to Shafiq, 1 run, leading edge but bursts through the gap at cover. This was angled into Shafiq and he closed the bat face a tad early. Trickles away for a single
7.5
Broad to Haris Sohail, FOUR, creamed away! First really positive shot of the morning from Pakistan. Wide half-volley and it's important to put these away, especially during such tricky sessions. Sohail does exactly that, as he times this front-foot square drive nicely. Gets it behind point and away to the fence
7.4
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, another nice outswinger but perhaps Broad can get more straighter in line. Comfortable leave once more
7.3
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, good length this time and shapes away nicely but too wide outside off. Easy leave for Sohail
7.2
Broad to Haris Sohail, 2 runs, very full and angling in around off, Sohail squirts the drive off the outer half but manages to get it through the gap at cover. Fetches him a brace
7.1
Broad to Azhar Ali, 1 run, comes in sharply from a good length on off stump, Azhar gets his bat down in time and this goes off the inside half down to fine leg
6.5
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, loose from Sohail, the second time that he has gone for an ambitious drive, only to get beaten. Full and outside off, could have left it alone but instead, chases it
6.4
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, beaten! Anderson goes wider of the crease and angles it in just outside off, Sohail played inside the line of it as this moved away slightly
6.3
Anderson to Haris Sohail, FOUR, on target this time and immediately forces the edge. To Sohail's credit, he played with soft hands and hence wasn't going to be in trouble. Full and closer to off, moves just a shade to produce the nick. Sneaks past the slip cordon and away to the vacant third man fence
6.2
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, Anderson's line hasn't been great this morning. He's getting sharp movement but it's of no use if he cannot be on target. Another outswinger that's sprayed well wide outside off, left alone
6.1
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, jags away from a good length, too wide outside off to interest Haris Sohail
5.6
Broad to Azhar Ali, no run, pitched up and shapes in a bit, straightish line and Ali clips it to mid-wicket, straight to the fielder
4.5
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, better from Sohail this time, decides to leave it alone. Straightens off the pitch after the initial inward angle
4.4
Anderson to Haris Sohail, no run, tentative from Sohail, that's what this round-the-wicket ploy does when there is some movement on offer. The angle forces him to poke at it and he just about manages to withdraw it. Nice away movement and nearly induced the edge
4.3
Anderson to Azhar Ali, 1 run, pinged on the front pad but there is a tiny inside edge that saves Azhar. Played around this inswinger and got lucky eventually. Trickles towards square leg and they sneak a quick single. Pakistan are finally off the mark
3.5
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, that's more like it Broady. Fullish and shaping away from just outside off, Sohail could have left it alone but tries the expansive drive. Beaten! He wouldn't have liked to see the replay of this if he had got out
3.4
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, nice shape on the outswinger and the length is good as well, full, but too wide to make Sohail play
3.3
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, erratic delivery, too wide outside off and it's an easy leave for Sohail
3.2
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, full and quite wide outside off, luring Sohail into the big drive but he prefers to leave
3.1
Broad to Haris Sohail, no run, right channels on a good length, outside off and with a bit of extra bounce. Sohail shoulders arms
2.6
Anderson to Azhar Ali, no run, the one that moves away this time, a touch full but the line allows Azhar to leave with ease
