Dan Lawrence to Azan Awais, out Caught by Jordan Cox!! What a review! Full credit to Root. First for the bowling change. The pacers seemed unlikely to break this partnership - so he brings on the part-time spinner and Lawrence strikes with his second ball. The best part was Root was confident about the appeal, didn't consult Cox or Lawrence before challenging the onfield call. Sliding down leg, Awais prods forward and tries to tickle it into the leg-side, gets a feather on the way to the keeper. Cox collected it cleanly and didn't go up straightaway, Lawrence too joined in belatedly but Root was confident. UltraEdge showed a small murmur when ball was next to the bat.

Ollie Robinson to Shan Masood, no run - short of length and tight on off, Shan Masood goes on the back foot and gets right behind the line to defend. What a first over this is from Ollie Robinson - double-wicket maiden and he gets a good round of applause from the Edgbaston crowd as he walks back to his fielding position
Ollie Robinson to Shan Masood, no run - so so close to the outside-edge. The wobble-seam delivery from round the wicket, angling into fourth-stump, Shan Masood gets forward to defend and the ball nips away a tad to beat the edge. Masood appreciates the delivery by nodding at Ollie Robinson with a big smile on his face
Ollie Robinson to Abdullah Shafique, out Caught by Root!! Edged and now Root takes it. Pakistan would want the ground to cave in so that it can swallow their players in. Ollie Robinson goes wide of the crease and angles a good length delivery into fifth-stump - Abdullah Shafique has this tendency to play inside the line when defending. That causes his downfall, he is squared up, the thick outside-edge goes towards the bootlaces of Root who is back at 1st slip and he bends to take it easily. Made a tough catch look easier than what it was. 21st wicket for Robinson in the series. The start that Pakistan absolutely dreaded has hit them. Abdullah Shafique c Root b Ollie Robinson 0(3)

Full outside off - easily he could've left that alone, but went for a big expansive drive, the thick outside-edge flies to Brook at 2nd slip who cups to his right with both hands. He is standing closer than where a conventional 2nd slip would be. Such great hands he has. Easily the best slip catcher in this team and perhaps one of the best in the world currently. Never looked like dropping that. Pakistan have made a nightmarish start to their last innings on this tour. Ollie Robinson striking 1st-ball yet again in this series.

Mohammad Ali to Josh Tongue, out Caught by Ghazi Ghori!! Edged and gone. That will be the end of the innings as well. Josh Tongue stays leg-side of this short of length delivery on a fourth-stump line - looks to defend off the back foot. Clear outside-edge and that's it.

A change in venue does not change his fortunes. This is a good length ball for which Babar should have been forward - but he is rooted to the crease and the ball sneaks under his bat to hit top of off-stump. Babar played that as if it kept low but it was him who did not judge the length correctly. Pakistan are five down and we are just 15 overs into the Test. Babar Azam b Josh Tongue 7(18) [4s-1]

Ollie Robinson to Abdullah Shafique, out Caught by Dan Lawrence!! Sharp catch and Pakistan have lost their top three inside 45 minutes. Abdullah Shafique pushes at this fullish ball with an angled blade - probably eyeing the mid-on region. Gets a thick outside edge with the ball wobbling away and Dan Lawrence snaffles a sharp, low catch at gully to his left. Robinson has his arms aloft and is delighted.

Jofra Archer to Shan Masood, leg byes - 2 runs, 141kph, full delivery angling in, a shuffling Masood flicks and misses. England appeal for lbw, not given and the ball rolls to fine leg off the pad. Looked close as the batter shuffled but the angle would have taken it down leg
Jofra Archer to Azan Awais, out Caught by Josh Tongue!! Jofra Archer gets his man! Ben Duckett will be relieved as his drop doesn't cost anything.

Ollie Robinson to Saim Ayub, no run - 123kph, Saim Ayub offers no shot and he's been adjudged lbw. He has a chat with his batting partner and reviews. Robinson gets this to jag back in from a short of length and it's hit him on the back thigh outside off. Since no shot offered, impact won't be taken into account. Ball-tracking shows it to be bouncing over the stumps. Successful review and Chris Gaffaney has to overturn his decision. After the initial replays, Gaffaney knew he had got it wrong - shook his head on seeing it on the big screen, even Robinson knew it was not hitting and started walking back to his mark before ball-tracking came up
