Cricket News: Pakistan bowlers rattle England's top order

England are in deep trouble in the first Test after a Shan Masood-inspired Pakistan dominated the second day at Old Trafford in Manchester. Opener Masood worked his way to 156, forming the basis of Pakistan's 326 all out. Masood added 105 with Shadab Khan, who busied his way to 45 in a post-lunch period where England surrendered the initiative with some baffling tactics. England's batting exposed Pakistan's skilful, enthusiastic and dangerous attack and limped to 92-4. Rory Burns was lbw to Shaheen Afridi in the first over and Dom Sibley fell in the same way to Mohammad Abbas. When Abbas bowled Ben Stokes, England were tottering 12-3. Joe Root and Ollie Pope managed to add 50, only for Root to be caught behind off the leg-spin of Yasir Shah for 14. Pope ended unbeaten on 46 in the company of Jos Buttler with hosts still trailing by 234 runs with 6 wickets remaining.
