5pm: Is that enough? Nobody knows these days, of course, but you certainly don't chase 350-plus every day of the week. In England's favour, this has looked a good deck to bat on, and the boundaries of the ground are eminently locatable; however, there's no Jos Buttler, remember, and a number of batsmen down the order have not had much time in the middle recently. This could be their opportunity, but Pakistan will fancy leveling the series at 1-1 if they can bowl even half-decently. Their innings was based on a sparkling 151 from Imam-ul-Haq, who batted for all but 4.4 overs and should have quieted some of the doubters. Anyway, we'll be back again to watch bowlers repent this contest play out in 20 minutes or so...

Willey to Hasan Ali, no run, Hasan moves across early, Willey aims for the tramlines... and the umpire says that is fine! Could have been called wide but the bowler gets a break and Pakistan finish on a meaty 358 for 9

"Alan do you think Morgan will be fined for slow over rate?" Certainly on the cards, Prabhu, and that would mean a ban, I think, as England were penalised during the Barbados ODI in March, too

Willey to Hasan Ali, SIX, poor ball, a full bunger on the stumps and Hasan creams it over the rope at wide long-on! No messing about, another sweet strike

Willey to Hasan Ali, FOUR, full and scooped over backward square leg! Cute shot from Hasan, into the vacant outfield and away

Willey to Hasan Ali, no run, full and wide, Hasan has a big ole swing and Bairstow then fumbles it... but they don't take the bye on offer

Junaid Khan heads out, Hasan on strike as they crossed

Willey to Shaheen Shah Afridi, OUT, short and top-edged, into the off side where Willey sprints across and dives... WHADDACATCH! Full stretch, one hand and it sticks! Most of the damage has been done but Willey isn't a man to give up, Pakistan nine down now

Shaheen Shah Afridi c & b Willey 7 (6m 4b 0x4 1x6) SR: 175.00

Willey to Shaheen Shah Afridi, SIX, well, that'll get them a bit closer... full outside of, Shaheen opens the arms and slugs down the ground, just creeps over the boundary rope for six more!

David Willey to bowl the last over, Pakistan still shy of 350...

Curran to Hasan Ali, SIX, uff, where did that come from? Right out of the screws and into the stand at long-on! Missed the yorker and Hasan shows no mercy with a casual-looking punch down the ground that soars over the ropes

Curran to Hasan Ali, no run, sneaky stuff, loopy back-of-the-hand slower ball that dips outside off and then kicks up as Hasan carves out a slice of fresh air!
