After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the host England bowlers wreaked havoc and did not give the Pakistani batsmen a chance to open their hands. Half of Pakistan’s team returned to the pavilion on the score of 48 runs. The first five batsmen were out in single digits only. Captain Babar Azam was clean bowled by Josh Tong after scoring just 7 runs in this match.
