The highly-rated Babar Azam too batted well for his 69 but as he departed on the second day, Masood did exceptionally well to negate the threat of Anderson-Broad in the first hour under overcast conditions at Old Trafford and reached his fifty.
"Shan Masood is good. Very organised. Like him," Chopra, himself a watchful Test opener back in the day, tweeted.
At Lunch, Pakistan were left reeling at 187/5 with Shadab Khan batting on 1 along with Masood.
Earlier on a rain-marred opening day, Pakistan -- after electing to bat -- reached 139/2 before umpire called Stumps due to bad light in the third session which saw only eight overs of play.
