1st Test: Crawley, Root Lead Fight Back As England Trail By 460 Runs Against Pakistan
Multan Cricket Stadium: The first Test match between England and Pakistan is perfectly poised after Salman Agha’s century continued the onslaught and propelled the home side’s score to 556 in the opening Test of the series at the Multan Cricket Stadium. The visitors fought back valiantly and scored 96/1 in 20 overs before the end of the day’s play which saw them trail by 460 runs.
Solid centuries by opener Abdullah Shafique and skipper Shan Masood helped Pakistan finish Day One of the first Test against England on 328/4 in 86 overs at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Monday. The 253-run partnership between Masood (151) and Shafique (102) ensured the day belonged to Pakistan when stumps were called.
Continuing from 328/4, nightwatchman Naseem Shah (0), and Saud Shakeel (35 not out) started from the crease on Day 2. The former played his part to perfection and added 33 runs, in an innings which consisted of one boundary and three sixes, before being caught by Harry Brook off Brydon Carse’s ball.
