11.10pm: First blood to England? Pakistan would have loved a few more but this is still a stiff ask. Plenty of time left for England to try and pick a path to glory but this is a fine Pakistan attack and Yasir Shah, in particular, must have an itchy spinning finger as he contemplates adding to the six wickets he took in the first innings. We'll be underway with the chase shortly.

In the meantime... Predictions. Here's Barney: "I don't see England falling for the same trick twice. I think they'll nullify Yasir and chase these down by lunch tomorrow."

"For some odd reason, I get the feeling that today will be Mohammad Amir's REAL return." Wouldn't bet against it, Nick E.

"Adding to the cliches, this game has been a wonderful advertisement for the most glorious format in cricket!" yodels Yogi

"A wicketless test for Finn... the poor guy saw Bairstow drop a simple catch." Indeed Alastair, one of the many threads to this game. He'll bounce back, I'm sure.

Broad to Mohammad Amir, OUT, and they won't be adding any more, as Amir tickles a waft through to the keeper! England will be mighty pleased with that, just one run added and two wickets taken in 13 balls... which means Pakistan have been dismissed for 215, setting England 283 to win the first Test

Mohammad Amir c †Bairstow b Broad 1 (15m 9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 11.11

"Alan, don't forget to mention that every run added from now on is immensely valuable! :D" Of course, Manish... But they've only added one so far
