Prospective bowlers looking anywhere but at their Skipper.

Would you believe 3/450 from 69 overs - so far.

Pope out for 108.

4/462. Brook 92*.

Stokes starts 4,4,4.

A possible 5 centuries from the first 5 batters, was on. Even 6, if Stokes joins in. But ... who spoiled that ? Joe Root. Scored 23.

Brook tons up, with a superb cover drive.

4/488 after just 74 overs.

However, the Umps took light meters out, after tea.

If it wasn't before, it's now almost a farce.

4/502. Stokes 30* from13 balls.

Umps took pity on the Pakistan attack. Play called off. Bad light.

England was just 1 boundary 4 away from 'most runs on first day of a Test'.
