Eng vs Pak 1st Test: Shan Masood lone ranger for Pakistan as England make merry

By Saurabh Sharma August 06, 2020 • 18:38 PM View: 955

Manchester, Aug 6: Shan Masood on Thursday showed composure of highest order but batters around him did not have an answer to England's bowling firepower as Pakistan were left reeling at 187/5 at Lunch on Day 2 of the first Test being played at the Old Trafford.

Opener Masood continued to graft on the second day as he reached 77* from 225 balls (10x4) but his overnight partner and highly-rated batter Babar Azam departed for 69, failing to add to his score from Wednesday. Resuming the day at 139/2, Babar was enticed into a false drive by James Anderson who had him caught at first slip by hosts' skipper Joe Root.
