On Thursday, Michael Vaughan took to Twitter and tweeted that he loves to watch Pakistan play cricket. The reason behind Michael Vaughan's tweet was Pakistan's impressive performance against England on Day 2 of the first Test.

Pakistan posted a total of 326 in the first innings courtesy opener Shan Masood's brilliant 156. Even after losing wickets regularly, Pakistan showed determination and crossed the 300-run mark. After a valiant show with the bat, it was Pakistan bowlers who ran riot as they were all over England batsmen. In no time, England were reduced to 12/3 with their openers (Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley) and arguably the batsman of the season, Ben Stokes back in the hut. Shaheen Afridi picked one wicket while Mohammad Abbas bagged two.
