Things could have taken a turn for the worse for Pakistan, but fortune favored them today. Kamran Ghulam was dropped on 79 by Duckett off Leach's bowling, and Rizwan was given a reprieve at 6 when England chose not to review a caught behind call. The debutant remained composed, fought hard, and brought up his century. Batting didn't seem overly challenging, prompting England to take the second new ball immediately.
Although Rizwan survived a few close calls, Ghulam was ultimately bowled by Bashir for 118. Salman and Rizwan ensured there were no further setbacks until the close of play, finishing the day at 259/5. England toiled hard, picking up five wickets on a pitch that offered low bounce and some turn, though nothing too extravagant. Unlike the first Test, there has been a good contest between bat and ball.
Teams:
Pakistan (Playing XI): Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood(c), Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Agha Salman, Aamer Jamal, Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Zahid Mahmood
England (Playing XI): Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes(c), Jamie Smith(w), Matthew Potts, Brydon Carse, Jack Leach, Shoaib Bashir
