12pm: Excellent work from England to wrap Pakistan up for less than 350. It took an impetuous stroke from Sarfraz to open the door but Woakes and Broad then barrelled through it, taking three wickets in eight balls to bring the innings to a shuddering halt. A six-for for Woakes confirms his rise; he'll join Misbah up on the honours board later. Now, it's time for another special moment in this bumper Test: the return of Mohammad Amir with ball in hand. Nikhil will be back shortly to talk you through it...

Broad to Mohammad Amir, OUT, angled in and then curling away to take the edge - snapped up at slip, it's all over! A third wicket for Broad and that ensures the last-wicket pair won't torment England for long. A decent total for Pakistan, but not as intimidating as it could have been

Mohammad Amir c Root b Broad 12 (23m 10b 3x4 0x6) SR: 120.00

Broad to Yasir Shah, 1 run, Broad trundles in, puts the ball on a length, coming back in and turned for one

"60+ to reach 400 runs on the board," hollers Omar Iqbal. "Come on Amir & Yasir!" I admire the spirit, although it might be worth aiming for 350 first...

END OF OVER:
99 | 5 Runs | PAK: 338/9

"Re: Maisam - I'm sure England's batsmen would prefer Amir to be bowling short rather than pitching it up and swinging it around corners. Good tactic to pepper him with the short ball!" chortles Simon

Woakes to Yasir Shah, no run, good length, straightening a touch outside off, Yasir dangles his bat ineffectively

"People were asking who would stand up in the absence of Jimmy Anderson for this match. Most suspected it would be Broad but Woakes has nailed it. Surely they can't drop him now?" Absolutely, James Mutton. You would think he's pushed himself up into the default pick as third seamer - and a handy bat to boot

Broad to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT, another one goes, straight through him! Broad gets Misbah and the collapse gains momentum... Seemed to beat him for pace, bit of inward movement off the pitch and it rattled into the top of middle and off. Misbah will get an ovation for a fine innings but that is a big blow to Pakistan's chances of getting many more on the board

Misbah-ul-Haq b Broad 114 (305m 199b 18x4 0x6) SR: 57.28
