OVERS 87 | SCORE 286/4 | (Malik 124, Asad 11)

That is the end of first day. England have had a hard day with two missed chances by Ian Bell. But four wickets on a dead pitch too should be a bit positive for the visitors. Pakistan will know Wednesday's 1st session will be key. Malik and Asad have shared a 35-run partnership already and the duo will want to see Pakistan score a big total on Day 2. The last two overs were bowled with a new red cherry and the duo of Anderson and Broad will hope the ball talks the next day.
