The Guardian SportMorning everyone and welcome to something that looks suspiciously like a proper contest. After falling flat in Leeds, Pakistan came to Lord’s and stood tall. They won the toss and bowled well from both ends as Mohammad Ali enrolled in the Mohammad Abbas school of exacting accuracy. The fielding was patchy but good enough to restrict England to 248-9 on a surface that Stuart Broad had described as “probably a 250 pitch”.

Abbas duly stamped his mark on proceedings by nipping out four wickets that, with three from the expressive Mohammad Ali, lifted Pakistan’s mood significantly after their no-show at Headingley. But for two proficient half-centuries from Jordan Cox, 55, and Jamie Smith, 61, England’s eventual 248 for nine from 56 overs by the time bad light brought the close would have been considerably worse.

02 The Guardian Sport Today, Pakistan have two jobs. They need to take the last wicket: in an ideal world, Ali will tactfully leave that to Abbas, so he can take his rightful place on the honours board after collecting two four-wicket hauls here in 2018. And then the batters, led by Babar Azam, have to knuckle down and make their way to a first-innings lead of about 100.
