PAK vs ENG: England's aggressive style of play got better of Pakistan at a flat home surface, with the batters smacking run-a-ball. Zak Crawley, who has excellent stats against Pakistan, started the destruction in the first test with his 122 runs off 111 deliveries.
However, with three forced changes for Pakistan, right-arm leg-break bowler Abrar Ahmed was handed his debut in the 2nd Test. The spinner immediately made an impact as he cleaned up England opener Zak Crawley in his first over, providing the opening wicket for Pakistan.
Abrar Ahmed bowled a googly on the 5th delivery of the 9th over, which Crawley decided to deal with by going forward to defend. However, he left a big gap between bat and pad and didn't manage to pick the google at all and was comprehensively bowled. Crawley had to walk back after scoring 19 runs with 3 fours as England lost their first wicket for 38 runs.
What a ball to get your first Test wicket!
