1310: Right, Sam Sheringham's match report is ready for your perusal, Aggers and Boycs will soon be filing the TMS podcast and it's time for me to take my leave of you. Thanks for your company and your messages over the last few days, Ben Dirs will be back in the live text chair when the second Test starts on Friday. Au revoir.

England captain Andrew Strauss: "We didn't have it all our own way, but our bowling was first-class in conditions that favoured the bowlers. Looking back, it was a crucial partnership between Collingwood and Morgan, but Matt Prior's hundred in the second dig made sure that any chance of a Pakistan win was taken away from them."

1300: Man-of-the-match James Anderson (11-71 in the match) tells Aggers that England prepare as if the ball isn't going to swing, aiming to hit good line and length.

1253: That's impeccable timing by England if you're a combined cricket/Formula 1 fan, as the Hungarian Grand Prix is only minutes away on BBC TV, radio and online - check out our text commentary. Meanwhile, as we wait for the presentation ceremony, I can reveal that historically, that was England's second highest victory in terms of runs - they thumped Australia by an innings and 579 runs at The Oval in 1938 (after Len Hutton's 364), while Australia had two injured batsmen (including Don Bradman) who didn't bat in either innings. The biggest win of all was by 675 runs at Brisbane in 1928/29. Bradman scored 18 and 1 on his debut, was dropped for the second Test and thankfully (for Australia) restored for the third.

1246 - WICKET - Asif c Swann b Anderson 0 - Pkn 80 all out (29 overs)
Anderson, with 5-17 from his first 14 overs, has last man Asif playing and missing, then beats him again with an away-swinging yorker. But the match is ended with the latest of a selection of superb England slip catches, held by the juggling Graeme Swann at second slip. That's Pakistan's lowest ever total against England.

From Peter, TMS inbox: "Waiting for the train from Moscow to St Petersburg - just another seven and a half hours to go! Am hoping (a) the cricket lasts a little longer and (b) the battery on my girlfriend's laptop doesn't run out. Jimmy for MOM!"

1241 - Pkn 80-9 (28 overs)
With four slips in, Kaneria entertains the crowd by loft-hooking Finn over fine leg for six! When he attempts the same shot, it pings through square leg for a first-bounce four. He's one of only two men to reach double figures in this innings, the other being Farhat. A slower ball jags away and is signalled as a wide - Aggers and Vic TMS notice that Finn hasn't fallen over in his follow-through during this Test, which he kept doing against Bangladesh. Maybe all the "strength and conditioning" work has cured that?

1236 - Pkn 69-9 (27 overs)
Last man Mohammad Asif delays the inevitable by surviving his first two deliveries, the first of which disappears for four leg byes.

BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew on TMS: "We talk about brilliant catches, but that's one of the best I've ever seen. Absolutely wonderful."

1234 - WICKET - Malik c Collingwood b Anderson 9 - Pkn 65-9 (26.4 overs)
With just under half-an-hour before lunch, can England wrap it up before then? Kaneria lofts Anderson into the leg side for a single - then another utterly marvellous reaction slip catch from Collingwood, inches above the ground, ends Malik's stay at the crease (he was trying to force the ball to leg) and clinches Jimmy's 10-wicket haul.

1231 - Pkn 64-8 (26 overs)
Malik square-cuts Finn for four, before guiding another short ball to the point boundary.

From allthatswronginsport on 606: "Aamer is a class act, I hope he manages to stay out of all the politics in the PCB and rise above it. Asif is a good foil for him as well, almost like Waqar was to Wasim."

1226 - Pkn 56-8 (25 overs)
The fidgety Kaneria guides a single off his hip, it looked an easy two but a superb pick-up-and-throw from Finn at long leg restricts him to one. Malik is off the mark with a single to the same region.

1222 - Pkn 54-8 (24 overs)
Malik still yet to register a run, but is resolute in defence against Finn - although a risky leave nearly sees him bowled. Some great fielding by Finn off his own bowling earns the lanky Middlesex youngster a maiden over.

From James Lincoln, Leeds, via text: "Another duck to complete a pair. No more fitting way to end possibly the worst individual performance ever seen in a Test match from Kamran Akmal."

1218 - Pkn 54-8 (23 overs)
Kaneria is hopping around in the crease, but he nervelessly guides a four off his toes through square leg. Anderson has 4-14 and is one away from his first ever Test match 10-wicket haul.

From Tim Boyde, TMS inbox: "Man of the match, difficult to single out one English player. But for a stand-out performance when all around are losing their heads, real back to the wall stuff, might I suggest Gul? Without him it would have been all over long ago."

1214 - Pkn 50-8 (22 overs)
Finn has a predatory cordon of four slips and a gully for Malik, who's still yet to score. Surely as the senior batsman in the side, he ought to be going in higher than number six? He comes forward to Finn, and the ball squirts away from the stumps. A swing-and-a-miss sees the all-rounder, still on nought, survive a maiden over.

1210 - Pkn 50-8 (21 overs)
New batsman Danish Kaneria shoulders arms to the last ball of the over. By the way, Pakistan's lowest ever Test score is 53.

1207 - WICKET - Gul c Collingwood b Anderson 9 - Pkn 50-8 (20.5 overs)
Gul plays and misses at Anderson, then swings hard and is brilliantly caught by the leaping Colly, several feet off the ground at third slip! That's nine in the match for the Burnley Express.

From Mike in Spain, TMS inbox: "I think Morgan should get man of the match, without his ton-plus England would not have had a very good lead."

1202 - Pkn 50-7 (20 overs)
Not much consolation for Pakistan as they slide towards defeat, but the new man in is Umar Gul, who was their best batsman in the first innings with a swashbuckling 65 not out which helped avoid the follow-on. He prods one back past the bowler, nearly hitting the stumps at the bowler's end, but it dribbles to the boundary for four. As if to show this batting lark is easy, he on-drives for another boundary, while a single off his legs takes Pakistan to 50 and earns them a drinks interval.

1157 - WICKET - K Akmal lbw b Finn 0 - Pkn 41-7 (19.1 overs)
Kamran tries to pull a straight ball from Anderson, which hits him just above the knee-roll, and umpire Tony Hill raises his finger. He looks up as if thinking about a review, not realising Pakistan don't have any left, and departs having registered a pair. To add insult to injury, Hawk-Eye suggests that it was just missing the stumps in two dimensions (width and height).

1155 - Pkn 41-6 (19 overs)
CMJ takes over on TMS, and reports how he was injured during a particularly vigorous session of Scottish country dancing (or as my parents used to refer to it, "cross-country dancing") at the wedding he attended yesterday. Meanwhile, with six wickets down his summariser Michael Vaughan already has one eye on the golf course... Pakistan have two new batsmen in, arguably their last two "recognised" batsmen, but Shoaib Malik sees off Anderson's over despite a couple of injudicious wafts.

1151 - Pkn 41-6 (18 overs)
New batsman is wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal - he's had a shocker behind the stumps, and he's on a pair. A duck now might mean the worst possible Test for him. He defends the rest of Finn's over, a wicket maiden. (And I haven't even had the opportunity to mention Shoaib Malik, who came in at the fall of Umar Akmal, but hasn't faced a ball yet).

1148 - WICKET - Aamer c Pietersen b Finn 4 - Pkn 41-6 (17.4 overs)
Anderson's on fire at the moment (bowling figures 9-5-10-3), but Broad's been a bit loose at the other end so Captain Strauss turns to his Middlesex team-mate Steven Finn. Nightwatchman Aamer tries to stroke one down the leg side and earns four leg byes - but his overnight defiance is ended when he spears one low to gully and Kevin Pietersen takes the catch.

1143 - WICKET - U Akmal lbw b Anderson 4 - Pkn 37-5 (17 overs)
Hawk-Eye indicates the ball would have hit leg stump halfway up, so Umar is despatched to the pavilion and Pakistan have run out of reviews...

1142 - Pkn 37-4 (17 overs)
Aamer pushes a single, Umar guides Anderson for a confident two through the covers. But then Umar's hit on the boot, England rise as one to appeal and umpire Asoka de Silva raises his finger! But Pakistan call for a review... And while offering my congratulations to Dot and Andrew (below), don't forget that TMS commentary on England's home matches is available worldwide over the internet, even as the radio signal fades...

From Dot and Andrew, via text: "Just driving from our wedding in the Lake District to Pau, south France. Radio beginning to break up but still listening!"

1138 - Pkn 34-4 (16 overs)
Broad to continue, Aamer knocks a single to bring the right-handed Umar on strike. He's off the mark by guiding a two to leg.

1134 - Pkn 31-4 (15 overs)
Interesting chat from Aggers - fourth umpire Rob Bailey told him that when Paul Collingwood was dismissed lbw by Umar Gul yesterday, he (Bailey) was detailed to make sure Colly didn't leave the field while the third umpire checked it wasn't a no-ball by Gul. New batsman Umar Akmal sees off his first two deliveries.

1131 - WICKET - Farhat c Strauss b Anderson 15 - Pkn 31-4 (14.4 overs)
Farhat nicks Anderson for four past gully - but then Anderson hits back with a beauty which just swirls past Farhat's outside edge, and Jimmy bags his first victim of the day with an even better delivery which the opener can only nibble to Cap'n Strauss at first slip. Jimmy's figures are 7.4-5-7-2.

1127 - Pkn 27-3 (14 overs)
Broad fires a loose one down the leg side which Aamer lets fly past. "Get Finn on!" exhorts my match-report colleague Sam Sheringham.

From Richard Lalor, TMS inbox: "Barring a superb bowling performance from Anderson, does Prior get man of the match?"

1123 - Pkn 27-3 (13 overs)
Aamer plays a confident, angled forward defensive at Anderson. (If you haven't already, please manually refresh the page to remove the "play due to start" malarkey at the top). Anderson oversteps for a no-ball, Aamer nudges a single off his legs, and Pakistan have been the model of accomplished survivalists so far.

From Dan on 606: "I live just outside Nottingham, and it's quite a nice day at the moment. A little chilly and fairly cloudy, but still nice and bright."

1118 - Pkn 25-3 (12 overs)
"Would you like to have bowled the doosra?" Henry Blofeld asks off-spinning veteran Vic Marks on TMS. "A decent arm ball would have done," replies the former Somerset skipper. Farhat is happy to shoulder arms to anything he doesn't have to play from Broad - maiden over, we could see a few of those today.

From Roger Hartley, TMS inbox: "Its raining here in Sydney too... so it's getting closer. Tell the Burnley Express to hurry up."

1114 - Pkn 25-3 (11 overs)
Another maiden from the "Burnley Express", probing outside Aamer's off stump.

1111 - Pkn 25-3 (10 overs)
Farhat nudges a single, Aamer flashes and misses and it sails through Matt Prior's for four byes. "Kamran Akmal would have been disappointed with that," notes Vic on TMS. Aamer is off the mark with a single, he's not afraid of taking the strike.

Former Somerset and England off-spinner Vic Marks on TMS: "Steven Finn's performance yesterday suggests he may not be the worst number 11 England have ever had - unlike Messrs Malcolm, Tufnell, Mullally..."

1107 - Pkn 19-3 (9 overs)
Jimmy Anderson to continue bowling round the wicket to the two left-handers - nightwatchman Mohammad Aamer survives a maiden over.

1103 - Pkn 19-3 (8 overs)
Imran Farhat cuts the first ball of the day for four, but Stuart Broad keeps it tight for the rest of the over.

From Barry Chambers (Cricket Ireland media manager), TMS inbox: "Mark, just thought you may like to know that Eoin Morgan was not the only centurion in his household this week. His brother Gavin scored 119 not out as his club Balbriggan defeated Phoenix to win the Leinster Senior Two Cup at North County yesterday."

1051: Test Match Special is up and running - if you missed anything yesterday, you can still listen to the TMS podcast or the "View from the Boundary" interview with actor Jim Carter.

From MJ-PL6P on 606: "Anderson to get another 5-for. All over by 1500."

1043: As usual, we'd like you guys and gals to get involved on the emails, texts and 606 (see details above) - anyone in the Nottingham area want to kick us off with a weather report for Odie (below)? Looks brighter than yesterday on the telly...

From Odie, TMS inbox: "Morning Mark, It's raining hard here in Auckland, what's the Nottingham weather like?"

1038: We still lost, though.

1037: Pakistan's not-out batsmen, by the way, are opener Imran Farhat, who's lost three batting partners on the way to his six not out - and nightwatchman Mohammad Aamer, who's yet to score. A pretty thankless task, nightwatchman (if you believe the likes of Tuffers and Gus Fraser, who used to alternate in the role for Middlesex, on TMS). Never had to do it myself, although I did perform the role of "tea watchman" while playing for my team, the Canford Cygnets, last month. We were six down after a top-order collapse and in danger of losing the match before tea - so as the most expendable of our three remaining batsmen, I semi-jokingly offered to go in if we lost a wicket before tea. And it worked... sort of. I was out first ball, but wasted enough time painstakingly taking guard (a la Jonathan Trott) and twice asking the ump how many balls were left in the over... so by the time my stumps were sent flying, the clock had ticked past half-past-four and we took tea.

1030: Morning everyone, welcome to August - and welcome to what we expect to be the final day of the first Test between England and Pakistan. The match situation is that Pakistan, needing a theoretical 435 for victory (which would be a Test record successful fourth-innings chase) are 15-3 with two full days remaining. Barring problems with the weather, England can realistically hope to wrap matters up some time today.
