Read our privacy policy Jack Leach took a pair of early wickets for England before Pakistan rallied to 79 for two on the first morning of the second Test in Multan.

After losing the toss England opened up with Durham seamers Matthew Potts and Brydon Carse, who shared five tidy overs with the new ball before giving way to the spinners. One delivery from Potts kept low enough to leave the bowler grinning, while Ben Stokes was overheard on the stump microphone saying, “it’s started already boys”.
