We'll be back at 04:30 GMT on Monday to see which way this match turns next.

Getty Images Copyright: Getty Images Ollie Pope speaking to Sky Sports: "It was the ideal start to the tour obviously. We really listened to what Baz and Stokesy have said. It was an amazing day and I couldn't be happier for Brooky. "It started from the get go - 14 from the first over. It put them under pressure and they looked like they panicked a little bit. It looked like there wasn't anywhere they could bowl to those two, It was a perfect way for them to set us up for a series." Asked if he ever thought the side would score 500 in a day, Pope said: "No, to be honest, not necessarily. "The best thing is everyone has lived by how the two guys up top want us to play. They want us to entertain people. It is not about milestones. It is about putting on show and putting the t...

1961-62 - A curious itinerary greeted MCC's first official tour of Pakistan, with the three-match series wrapped either side of a full five-Test visit to India - whose subsequent plans to tour West Indies had caused a fixtures rejig. And as it transpired, the one-off Test in Lahore in October could not have been further removed from the two follow-ups in Dacca and Karachi in January and February, where the tone would be set for a diet of lifeless decks over the subsequent two decades. By then, however, England were already 1-0 up in the series after a gripping 1968-69 - South Africa had been England's original winter destination, but the D'Oliveira Affair put paid to that prospect, and as MCC scouted around for a back-up plan, they hit upon a country that was lurching, with ever more volatile certainty, towards revolution. "The Pakistan tour was a fiasco", Wisden intoned, at the end of a stalemate in which the three Tests became focal points for mounting unrest, from the first day of the series in Lahore, to the third and final day of the third Test in Karachi, where play was abandoned after a mob had torn down the gates and vandalised the pitch. In between, the schedule was controversially rejigged to send the teams 1100 miles east to Dacca (now Dhaka), where law and order was already breaking down ahead of the bloody war that would, two years later, lead to the birth of Bangladesh. With the city in a state of siege, it was left to a group of teenaged student leaders to g...
