PAK vs ENG: From scoring 575 runs in a single day to losing 5 wickets in the first session - England's downfall in the 2nd Test, and all credit goes to debutant Abrar Ahmed. The 24-year-old picked up 5 wickets in the first session as England are currently reeling at 180/5 at Lunch.
England's in-form opener Zak Crawley was the first to be dismissed as he scored 19 runs while Abrar grabbed his maiden wicket in his first over on debut. England were at 38/1 when Crawley departed and Ollie Pope got together with Ben Duckett to hold the crease.
The two batters etched a partnership of 79 runs in just 61 balls for the 2nd wicket before Abrar Ahmed broke through again and dismissed Ben Duckett for 63 runs. Joe Root (8) and Harry Brook (9) couldn't do much as well, getting dismissed by the young spinner.
