England vs Pakistan 2020 Day 2 roundup: Shan Masood 150 the highlight of the day

A lot went right for Pakistan on Day 2 of the England vs Pakistan 2020 clash. After resuming their innings on Thursday morning, Babar Azam failed to add to his overnight score as he perished to a James Anderson delivery early. However, it was Shan Masood who was the star of the show, batting for nearly eight hours and showing tremendous ability to adapt throughout the innings. His innings, supported admirably by Shadab Khan meant that Pakistan scored 326 in the first innings.

After the Shan Masood show, it was the Pakistani bowlers who got the better of the English batsmen, using the new ball effectively. Pakistani pacer Mohammad Abbas was particularly potent, picking up the wickets of Sibley and Stokes as England ended the day tottering at 92/4.

Bowling from around the wicket, Mohammad Abbas used the scrambled seam effectively to draw Ben Stokes forward.

It was a rare duck for Ben Stokes, his first in England after 50 innings and his first overall since 2017.
