England’s Top Order Falters, Pakistan’s Fast Bowlers Dominate

The English side lost early wickets, with Ben Duckett (17), Emilio Gore (8), captain Ben Stokes (4), Harry Brook (15), Dan Lawrence (17) and Jofra Archer (14) all falling cheaply. The middle order’s resilience could not prevent the total from being capped at 290. Pakistan’s bowlers exploited the conditions, keeping the scoring rate low and forcing regular dismissals.
