England were reduced to 92 for four in their first-innings against Pakistan at stumps on the second day of the opening Test at the Old Trafford Cricket Stadium in Manchester on Thursday.

At stumps, Jos Buttler and Ollie Pope were batting at the crease at their respective scores of 15 and 46.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan resumed their first-innings at 139 for two, with Babar Azam and opener Shan Masood batting at the crease.

Azam, who came up with a solid batting performance on Day 1, failed to stay long at the crease on Thursday and went back to pavilion for 69 after being caught on a James Anderson delivery.

Subsequently, Masood smashed a blistering knock of 156 runs, including 18 boundaries and two sixes, to single-handedly guide his side to a score of 326 in their first-innings before Pakistan were bundled out.
