Pakistan v England live stream and team news: Debutant Abrar Ahmed stuns visitors with sublime bowling display to leave Ben Stokes’ men in trouble – second day start time and talkSPORT coverage
England endured a tough first day in the second Test against Pakistan as they were bowled out for 281 after winning the toss and electing to bat.
Ben Stokes' side set off at a rapid pace and achieved their score in 51.4 overs, but they were left stunned by debutant Abrar Ahmed.
The 24-year-old was making his Test debut and ended with figures of 7-114, and at one point, it looked as if he was going to take all ten of England's wickets.
The spinner was almost unplayable, but a nice cameo from Mark Wood (36 off 27 balls) ensured England got close to 300.
In response, England managed to dismiss Abdullah Shafique and Imam ul-Haq early on for a combined 14 runs, but the sublime Babar Azam (61 not out from 76 balls) guided the hosts to 107-2 at the close of play.
The visitors will need to take wickets quickly on day two, or Pakistan could build a huge lead with so much time left in the game.
