Pakistan finished the opening day of the Test match strongly at 259 for 5, with middle-order resilience rescuing them from early trouble. The team showed patience and control after losing a few quick wickets in the first session.
Batting first, Pakistan’s top order struggled against disciplined bowling but managed to recover through a solid partnership in the middle overs. The batsmen played cautiously, rotating the strike and punishing loose deliveries to keep the scoreboard moving.
By the final session, Pakistan had steadied the innings, with key contributions from experienced players helping them regain momentum. The fifth wicket fell just before stumps, leaving the lower order with a chance to build on the solid foundation on Day 2.
The pitch offered moderate movement early on but flattened out as the day progressed, favoring the batsmen. With plenty of time left in the match, Pakistan will look to cross the 350-run mark and put pressure on their opponents when bowling.
