Lunch England 48 for 1 (Cook 27*, Trott 5*) trail Pakistan 257 (Misbah 84, Shafiq 58, Broad 4-47) by 209 runs .

Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss have experienced much during the 100 occasions they have stood together as England's opening pair, but rarely anything like this - a trial by spin in the desert, an examination against Pakistan's slow bowlers on the world's driest Test ground. 

It was all too much for Strauss. He made 11 and was then stuck on the crease, propping half forward suspiciously, when Mohammad Hafeez had him caught off bat and pad at short leg.
