England vs Pakistan 2nd Test Day 1: LIVE Score, Match Summary, Commentary, Update

After a disastrous Ashes tour to Australia, skipper Joe Root hoped that home conditions might improve their performance, but the side suffered a 9-wicket defeat in the first Test against Pakistan at Lord’s. With Pakistan leading the 2-match Test series 1-0, hosts England need to bounce back and win the second Test at Leeds to save the series. While Pakistan will be eager to register another comfortable victory and clinch the series. However, the only fret for Pakistan would be the absence of Babar Azam who suffered an injury in the Lord’s Test.
