Time for the last hydration break of the second day! Despite being rocked very early into the innings, England looks settled as of now with Zak Crawley and Joe Root scoring runs at a brisk pace. Both have added 39 runs in just 52 deliveries so far. Pakistan on the other hand, have asked all the tough questions to the Pakistani top order with Naseem Shah removing Ollie Pope on a duck, courtesy of a screamer catch by Aamer Jamal. England's aim would be to go unblemished without further damage till the end of the day as the pitch is still flat and good to bat on with no visible swing at all. Whereas, Pakistan would try to assert their dominance further with a couple of scalps from here. Abrar Ahmed to continue.
