Mohammad Abbas led Pakistan's bowling attack with four wickets as England were bowled out for 189 on the opening day of the second Test. Pakistan closed the day on 57 for 1, trailing by 132 runs.
Abbas Dismantles England's Top Order
Abbas, who returned to the side after being rested for the first Test, removed both England openers early and then struck again after lunch to leave the hosts reeling. His figures of 4 for 42 from 18 overs were the standout performance of the day.
England's Middle-Order Collapse
England's middle order offered little resistance, with only three batsmen reaching double figures. The home side lost their last seven wickets for just 58 runs, with Pakistan's bowlers maintaining relentless pressure throughout the afternoon session.
Pakistan's Steady Response
In reply, Pakistan lost opener Imam-ul-Haq early but captain Babar Azam and Azhar Ali guided the visitors to 57 for 1 at stumps. Babar, unbeaten on 28, will resume on the second morning aiming to build a substantial lead.
