Drinks! Phew, a very eventful first hour in this 'Moving Day' so far. England have batted extremely well and have negotiated this crucial hour with a positive intent. Although they have lost Zak Crawley on 78, who deserved a ton with the way he was timing the ball. But the scoring rate hasn't blipped one bit since the arrival of Ben Duckett. He has partnered with Joe Root and has scored more than run-a-ball while Root himself has notched up his 50, with a touch of class. On an extremely batting friendly track, Pakistani bowlers couldn't do much and with no movement and turn whatsoever for the bowlers, as yet, they have been dealt with caution and aggression. However, a wicket or two is what Pakistan needs to slow things up a bit before the Lunch break.
