PAK vs ENG Live, 2nd Test Day 1: James Anderson scalps Shan Masood; 6-0

In the second test of three-match series, Pakistan cricket team won the toss and elected to bat first against England at The Ageas Bowl, Southampton today. After the toss Pakistan captain Azhar Ali reckoned that first hour would be crucial given the freshness in the pitch. However, the visitors are looking to put runs on board. "The weather is quite hot and we would like to make full use of it and put runs on the board. There will be some freshness in the pitch for the first couple of hours but we will look to negate that", said Azhar Ali.
