Eoin Morgan leads the players off to warm applause, it could not have gone better for him. After wobbling either side of lunch England have surged into a position of control. Getting together at 118 for 4, Morgan and Collingwood have added 213 in quick time, with Morgan going on to complete his first Test hundred and Collingwood, steady as ever, ending unbeaten on 81.
So much was expected of this Pakistan attack and when they were asked to bowl first under leaden skies this morning you sensed England would be in for a real examination. As it happened Mohammad Aamer was the only man anywhere near his best - Asif , Gul and especially Kaneria were very disappointing indeed and on a dry pitch already beginning to crack, England will be very happy.
