England managed to stay afloat at 96-1 at stumps in their response to Pakistan’s imposing total of 556. While they’ve made a solid start, there’s still a considerable challenge ahead, as they need to bat for an extended period on day three to avoid giving Pakistan a significant advantage.

England bowler Brydon Carse shared insights with Sky Sports, saying, “I had a conversation with Woakesy and Gus near the end of Pakistan’s innings, and both those boys were feeling it.”
He added, “But we got through, and the lads will rest tonight, aiming for a productive batting day tomorrow. We’re focusing on hydration with ice baths and will ensure we get good food and a solid night’s sleep to come back strong.”
