The Pakistan National Cricket Team batted well on day 1 of the PAK vs ENG 1st Test 2024. The bowlers of the England National Cricket Team had to face the wrath of Pakistan captain Shan Masood and opening batter Abdullah Shafique who took control of the Pakistan innings after the fall of an early wicket. After Saim Ayub fell prey to Gus Atkinson early, Pakistan could’ve fumbled but they kept their calm and composure.
