3.48pm: Younis Khan has raised a monument to Pakistani batting in south London and put his side in the box seat. They have given themselves a bigger cushion than their most ardent fans would have thought possible this morning and England will have to try and extricate themselves from a hole twice as deep as they one they were dumped in at Edgbaston last week. Can they show similar resolve? We should get an indicator or two after the break... Join us in 15.

Finn to Sohail Khan, OUT, chipped off the toes... and grabbed at midwicket! Finn finishes it off, Sohail clipping to a diving Broad, who takes another good catch, meaning Pakistan walk off with 542 on the board and a lead of 214 - and that will be tea

Finn to Mohammad Amir, 1 run, pushed through in the channel, deflected to third man

Finn to Sohail Khan, 1 run, back of a length outside off, a big slash from Sohail and it clears the leaping Cook at first slip... no four, though, as Hales is perfectly positioned to field

Finn to Sohail Khan, no run, good length, sliding down the leg side, Sohail attempts to glance and it ends up in Bairstow's gloves - Finn enquires about the catch but it was likely only pad

Short leg in too

Finn to Sohail Khan, no run, pitched up, moves across his stumps and flicks to leg

Steven Finn returns, no tea yet... There's a long stop in, Hales way back behind the keeper
