Pakistan are in serious danger of having to follow on when the play ended on the second day of the first Test of the England Pakistan Test series at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Almost forgotten was Mohammad Asif’s efforts earlier in the day to bring Pakistan back into the game.
Pakistan did not think they would find themselves staring down the barrel after Asif ran through the England batting line up to trigger a collapse. From four down for 331, it is hard to imagine that England could find themselves pegged down, losing six wickets for next to nothing as they were dismissed for 354.
If Mohammad Aamer stole the show on the first day, Asif was at his best, picking up a five-for for his dramatic show.
However, it was England who went into the dressing room at the end of the second day’s play looking happier after Pakistan were reduced to 147 for nine, still a shade better given that at one time, they were in deeper trouble at six down for forty-seven, James Anderson replicating Asif’s efforts while Steven Finn was not to be left too far behind on three wickets.
The see saw day saw Pakistan going from being spectacular to finding themselves on thin ice.
