England got a late reward at the end of a gruelling opening day to their tour of Pakistan, who were taken to 328-4 by centuries from Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique.
Gus Atkinson had Saim Ayub caught down the leg side in the fourth over, only for opener Shafique and captain Masood to pile on 253 for the second wicket. At 263-3, England had hope of taking more from the day, hope dimmed when Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel added 61, then realised when Chris Woakes pinned Babar leg before.before this match began that England were realistic about the challenge that awaited them. Perhaps the coach had days like this in mind.
