hello from the bbc sport centre. 13 wickets fell on the first day of the final test in rawalpindi between pakistan and england. england won the toss and chose to bat first but were bowled out for 267, every batter falling to spin. it could have been a lot worse without a half century from opener ben duckett and a barnstorming 89 from jamie smith that included six sixes in a century partnership with gus atkinson. joe root, ben stokes, ollie pope and harry brook all went cheaply. sajid khan took six wickets. pakistan closed on 73—3. i think it's a decent score, especially from the position we were in. anytime you are batting first, you have the luxury of the best conditions, no doubt about that so it will be a tough first hour in the morning where we will look to take as many wickets as possible we could get to a point where the first innings is crucial. another really busy night of european football coming up, with europa league and uefa conference league matches, manchester united are still waiting for their first win and are unlikely to get an easy ride in istanbul against fenerbahce and
