Pakistan’s Babar Azam plays a shot during the second day of the first Test against England in London on Friday. | Photo Credit: Julian Finneymore-inPakistan again showed England how to play in its own conditions in the first Test at Lord’s. The tourists scored 300 runs in Friday’s play, going from an overnight 50 for one to 350 for eight at stumps on the second day of this two-match series. In addition to three county warm-up matches, Pakistan beat Test debutant Ireland in similarly overcast conditions in Dublin last week. Experienced opener Azhar Ali laid the platform for Pakistan's reply with a well-made 50 in largely overcast conditions that weren’t easy to bat in.
