44.4 to Shahid Afridi, 67.9 mph, Afridi falls! One over away from the Powerplay, he tries to launch a slower ball over long-on, but gets underneath it and Strauss runs in from wide long-on to hold a regulation catch 209/6

13.4 to Kamran Akmal, 93.9 mph, short, top-edged and a simple catch at square leg! That's not the first time Kamran has fallen in this fashion on this tour - it was similar to both his dismissals in the Cardiff Twenty20s. The ball rose up more sharply than he expected, and though it looked as though he was trying to hook in the air, he's undone by the quick, short ball 62/1
45.1 to Umar Akmal, 90.6 mph, Broad strikes with the bouncer once again! Short and fast on off stump, Umar tried to hook but was in no position to play the shot. A steepling top-edge went straight up, and Davies held a good catch. The end of a very scratchy innings from Umar, he never looked at ease 210/7

19.5 to Asad Shafiq, 53.4 mph, bowled, and Shafiq didn't have a clue! Classic offspinner's dismissal, drifting full and wide of off to invite the drive, dipping and spinning in sharply to clatter into the stumps. Shafiq has been outclassed here, but he didn't give himself the best chance either - that was a very loose drive. Swann's first over penchant continues! 86/2
21.5 to Mohammad Yousuf, 60.1 mph, Swann strikes again! Yousuf is caught behind, great piece of bowling from Swann. The two balls previously both spun in sharply, but this was the arm ball and rushed straight on. Yousuf may well have picked that, and was shaping to dab to third man, but a touch of extra bounce meant the ball kissed the outside edge and nestled safely in Davies' gloves 94/3
31.5 to Mohammad Hafeez, 56.7 mph, there's the breakthrough, and you have to say that was coming. Round the wicket, Hafeez went to mow over midwicket, a big top-edge to Trott at gully. The end of a good innings, but Pakistan wanted more from their set batsman 137/4
37.1 to Fawad Alam, first ball after the resumption, and Swann has nailed Alam's middle stump! Beautiful delivery, tossed up, pitching perfectly and spinning just enough. Alam was anchored on the back foot, and in no position to attack that 155/5
