England face an uphill struggle to escape from the first Test against Pakistan with anything but a defeat following a new-ball display from the tourists that felt barely permissible before the watershed.
England were reduced to 12 for three 5.3 overs into their reply to Pakistan’s 326 all out and sat 92 for four by the close. Ollie Pope remains unbeaten on 46, with Jos Buttler 15 not out for company, but England head into day three 234 runs adrift.
