it is not often you seen spin like that quite as early as this but jack leach did not mind and he will this either. she and massoud shipping it to zak crawley, pakistan 19-2 shipping it to zak crawley, pakistan 19—2 and already it seemed in trouble. but on his test debut, answer cameron to thrilling affect. suddenly, that pitch was looking a bit more straightforward and england needed to use their heads. even to help shine the ball. it did not help though. soon england were given the runaround harry brook with a brilliant stop on the boundary, but goodness, it was hard work. finally, a breakthrough, ben stokes snuffled cmu and when shaquille failed to bright and cast england had a renewed spring in their step. but not quite enough spring. on 79, cameron dropped by ben duckett and he made england pay for reaching his first test century and his first test innings, a debut certainly worth celebrating. on hundred 18, brashear eventually got him just before the close, elite boost for england to round off and intriguing day. england's women are in danger of being knocked out of the t20 world
