    Brook run out Masood 75 (Eng 229-5)

    Oh Harry. Brook throws his bat in the air because he cannot believe what he has done. He's flicked the ball straight to mid-wicket and set off for a single. When the ball is collected cleanly he's run out by miles at the non-striker's end.

    A hundred was there for the taking. Was it concentration? Inexplicable.

    Oooof! Dan Lawrence plays a false shot for the first time in a long time as he is almost cut in half by one that nips back. It almost hits off stump and bowler Mohammad Ali thinks there's an inside edge.

    His appeals are rendered irrelevant as the umpire holds out his arm to single a no-ball.

    It's 51 off 47 balls with eight fours for Dan Lawrence. He has hit fifties in three consecutive matches. He never reached 50 in back-to-back games before that.

    Dan Lawrence needs to go and make this score count and make three figures.

    50 for Dan Lawrencepublished at 48 overs

    Dan Lawrence has batted really well this morning and now has his fifty.

    It's his seventh fifty and third since his recall.

    The sun is shining and the pitch flat. Can he go on to that first hundred?

    Time for spin for the first time in the Test. Saim Ayub bowls a bit of everything and he's coming on now.

    Pakistan haven't really looked like taking a wicket today. They have had no threat at all.

    I'll tell you who will be happiest about this morning. Andy in Surrey. Harry Brook and Dan Lawrence look like they could bat all day.

    Razaullah's average speed:

    • 89.8 mph - Day 1, Session 3, 1st Spell
    • 88.1 mph - Day 1, Session 3, 2nd Spell
    • 86.2 mph - Day 2, Session 1

    Brook 63, Lawrence 48

    This record just needs breaking so Gilbert Jessop can rest easily. He hit England's fastest century in 76 balls in 1902 and, despite countless close shaves, still holds that record.

    Lawrence has 48 from 44 balls after taking only one from this latest over.

    Lawrence to break Jessop's record? Heard it here first...

    Matt, Yorkshire

    The way Lawrence is playing is it too early to start talking about a certain Jessop record?...

    This morning just 25% of deliveries from the Pakistan quicks have pitched on a good line and length, down from 45% in the evening session on day one.

    Today's stats will be provided by CricViz's Kieran Parmley.

    Brook 63, Lawrence 47

    Blimey. Dan Lawrence is on one this morning. An extravagant flick through mid-wicket. A drive with a bit more flair through backward point. He's even catching the throws hurled back at the stumps for the Pakistan fielders.

    He's scored 30 runs from 16 balls this morning.

    You can see slightly different roles emerging in this England team. The role that Dan Lawrence is playing used to be played by Harry Brook.

    It's like one of them is being patient and one is allowed to have a dash.

  16. Eng 201-4published at 44 overs

    Dan Lawrence is another England player who could make the selectors' decisions for them with runs today.

    That is the 50th partnership in just 9.4 overs.

    How times have changed. Jamie Smith's fans were hidden away at the start of the summer.

    Dan Lawrence adds two more boundaries, meanwhile, as Mohammad Ali fails to slide tackle the ball on the boundary. It was a poor effort.

    Hope Smith's finger injury isn't too serious and keeps him out of keeping for more than the rest of this test. Statistically England's best ever keeper when looking at percentage of dropped catches. Nobody else really knocking on the door to replace him except maybe Foakes, so we need Smith.

    Edgbaston is quiet - quiet enough that you can hear the limited chatter from the Pakistan fielders as Muhammad Abbas hurries in.

    The stands are by no means full again. A bunch of bananas have space to stretch out in the Hollies.
