Play is due to start at 1100 BST (TMS coverage begins at 1045)

Rob, Northants, in the TMS inbox: "Morning Benny Boy, I've just been chatting with a friend and our conclusion is that Pakistan's attack is overrated and looked good against an average Aussie batting line up. Anyway, I'll be there tomorrow so I hope the weather holds as I predict an easy England win."

James in Woolwich in the TMS inbox: "Certainly looking forward to a stiffer challenge for the England batsmen this series, I'm also looking forward to having a good look at Eoin Morgan against a top-quality attack. For me, the jury is still out on whether he's a Test batsman. He can nail his Ashes place right here if he plays well."

1045: Right, so I got that completely wrong then - despite the cloud, everyone reckons Strauss was correct to bat first first. I'm rather looking forward to seeing this Pakistan attack in action - you've got the experienced Umar Gul, the very exciting 18-year-old left-armer Mohammad Aamer, a top-class spinner in Danish Kaneria and maybe the best of them all, the lanky, nagging Mohammad Asif. Proper Test match bowling...

1042: Pitch inspection from Beefy - very dry he notes, "it's a no-brainer you have to bat..."

1040: Teams for the record:
England: Andrew Strauss (captain), Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior, Graeme Swann, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Steven Finn.

Pakistan: Salman Butt (captain), Imran Farhat, Azhar Ali, Umar Amin, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Aamer, Danish Kaneria, Umar Gul, Mohammad Asif.

1038: Pakistan are also as anticipated and unchanged from the team which beat Australia by three wickets at Headingley last week.

1035: England's side is as expected. Eoin Morgan bats at six and there's a four-man bowling attack, Tim Bresnan the man left out of the 12.

1030: And Strauss has won it. He decides to bat. Salman Butt says he would have batted first too, but he fancies his attack to cause problems in the overcast conditions.

1025: Hello you lot. You well? The first day today of what promises to be an intriguing series between England and Pakistan, fresh from their first victory over the Aussies in 15 years last week. It's cloudy up in Nottingham, England might want to win the toss, this Pakistan attack looks pretty handy to me...
