Shaheen Afridi trapped Rory Burns in the very first over. Burns was caught in two minds while trying to play a length delivery and although the umpire turned down the appeal, Pakistan overturned that call with a review. Two overs later, Mohammad Abbas trapped Dominic Sibley with a nipper after setting the right-hander up with some deliveries from outside the off-stump. Abbas then bowled a peach of a delivery to bowl Ben Stokes leaving England reeling. Shan Masood Becomes First Pakistan Opener to Score a Test Century in England Since Saeed Anwar in 1996, Registers his Fourth in Tests.
