PAKISTAN FIRST INNINGS (ENGLAND 233)

1049: Michael Vaughan may be expecting clouds, I'm mildly concerned that the auto-updating text may be on the fritz - so if your screen stays static for too long today, it's probably worth manually refreshing your page (or going back to the main cricket index, then back to the live text again) rather than assuming I've deserted my post...

From Andy, Tooting, TMS inbox: "Morning Mark, had a lovely day at the Test yesterday. Managed to win £1 off a mate by betting that Cook would be out for under 30, saw Mark Nicholas do a very good Boycott impression, oh and the cricket wasn't bad either!"

Former England captain Michael Vaughan on Twitter: "Clouds arriving in a hour or so... Yousuf looked in great touch in the nets..."

1040: While Test Match Special prepares to take to the airwaves at 1045, I can recommend a couple of other juicy items for your listening pleasure - a special podcast, broadcast yesterday, about the controversial Oval Test of 2006 which saw Pakistan forfeit the match amid allegations of ball-tampering. Darrell Hair, Andrew Strauss, Shaharyar Khan and David Morgan all have their say. And there's also the regular TMS podcast, with Aggers and Geoff Boycott reviewing day one's play. Both these can be found on the TMS podcast page - happy listening.

From Carlsberg_express on 606: "As I've got tickets for Sunday, let's hope the sun stays out for a few days and it's a run fest. Alternatively 2 days of rain should do it!"

1035: And thanks to Mr Dirs for his weather report, he'll be tweeting from The Oval for us for the duration of the Test... however long that is. While we wait for the start, there's plenty for you to catch up with from yesterday on the BBC Sport website - Jonathan Agnew reflects on "an extraordinary day - just what the series needed" in his column, BBC sports editor David Bond ponders the problem of all those empty seats, while the multi-tasking Ben Dirs questions Alastair Cook's place in the Ashes squad.

BBC Sport's Ben Dirs at The Oval on Twitter: "It appears the England seamers have lucked out with the weather. Sun overhead, try swinging it in this..."

1030: Morning, everyone, and thanks to Pranav Soneji for an entertaining day in the live text chair yesterday. Today is the morning when teenagers around the country receive their A-Level results (and I start to sound like a grumpy old man by pointing out there were "no such things as A-star grades in my day"), and Pakistan's batsmen are under the microscope for a stern examination of their own. Time and again this summer, their bowlers have given them hopes which have then been dashed by batting collapses. They're 48-1 in reply to England's 233 - and it was blue sky and bright sunshine above The Oval when I passed it on the train this morning.
