So the rains have continued to lash out at the Ageas Bowl and we are inching towards the play being called off territory. The covers are still on and the dardk clouds have hounded over the ground.
So the rains have once again appeared and played a spoilsport as the covers are on and the players have started walking towards the pavilion. Quite a good show put up by the hosts.
Chris Woakes is here and has struck for the team. Pitches in line and the impact on the stumps. Fawad Alam gets LBW after a review being taken. Alam OUT on 0. He makes a comeback after a long and the fans are quite dejected to see him make way into the pavilion on a golden duck.
Stuart Broad gets his first wicket in the match as he removes Ashad Shafiq. Bowls full and gets and EDGED and TAKEN by Dominic Sibley, who had dropped a catch earlier. Shafiq OUT on 5

Sam Curran is the next man in line who got wickets for the hosts. This time it was in form batsman Abid Ali who got trapped due to extra bounce and pace. The Pakistani batsman flirted with danger and got EDGED and TAKEN. Ali OUT on 60

After the team lost Azhar Ali, Abid has brought up his half-century. This was his fourth half-century in his fifth Test match. The Pakistani team look good for now.
So both the teams have headed for a tea break. There's no rain for now and we hope the action resumes soon.

England were 117-5 on day 4 of the first Test chasing 276 and defeat looked seemingly inevitable before Joss Buttler and Chris Woakes joined hands and turned the table around with a counter-attacking punch. Woakes hit the winning runs eventually after Buttler was trapped LBW by Yair Shah with England 20 runs away from home. The hosts though will be without their maverick all-rounder Ben Stokes, who left for New Zealand to be with his family due to personal reasons. Ollie Robinson has been included in the 14-man squad as Stokes’ replacement.

Pakistan, on the other, will hope to leave that loss behind and start a new game with a fresh mind. They were on top for most of the first Test and were overwhelming favourites to win before drifting away with some poor decisions and sloppy fielding. Their batting order need to recover form and help the bowling by setting up respectable scores. Fawad Alam is likely to be included in the playing XI.
