As far as the first Test match of the series is concerned, Pakistan elected to bat first after winning the toss. After registering a “worst record” in Test history on day 1 Pakistan scored 438 runs in their 1st inning.
Pakistan openers struggle to build a partnership and lose wickets earlier than expected. But skipper Babar Azam made a much-needed partnership with Sarfaraz and builds 195 runs for the next wicket.
Post Babar Azam and Sarfaraz’s dismissal, Agha Salman made a stand in the lower order and scored his maiden century. With Agha Salman’s dismissal at 103, Pakistan’s innings comes to end with a score of 438.
On the other hand, Tom Latham and Devon Conway made a steady partnership and scored 165 runs without losing a wicket at the end of Day 2.
