Pakistan resumed batting on Day 2 on their overnight score of 139-2, with in-form batsman Babar Azam at the crease for 69. Unfortunately for the Pakistani fans, he could not add to his overnight score and was dismissed on the first over of the day. Opening batter Shan Masood, on the other hand, held his fort and went onto register his fourth Test century.

Shan Masood batted with patience and grit as he reached the 150-run mark to eclipse his previous highest Test score of 135. He scored 156 in all and his innings comprised of 18 boundaries and two sixes. Shan Masood’s 319-ball statement was finally brought to an end by Stuart Broad, who finished with figures of 3-54.

After Shan Masood’s batting heroics, Pakistani pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Abbas wrecked the English top-order with some early outbursts. While Afridi claimed Rory Burns in the first over of the England innings, Mohammad Abbas sent Dom Sibley and Ben Stokes packing back to the pavilion to leave the hosts gasping for breath at 12-3. England later lost captain Joe Root to leg-spinner Yasir Shah and managed to reach 92-4 before the close of play.
