England Struggles in First Test Against Pakistan

In the ongoing first Test between England and Pakistan in Multan, England is striving for victory after Pakistan set a mammoth first innings score of 556, bolstered by Salman's 104 and solid partnerships from Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood. At the end of Day 4, Pakistan was struggling at 152/6, still trailing by 115 runs, with Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson taking crucial wickets. England's Harry Brook and Joe Root had earlier set a record 454-run partnership, showcasing aggressive batting tactics that left Pakistan's bowlers exhausted. As England attempts to capitalize on their bowling performance, concerns loom over the fitness of opener Ben Duckett, who injured his thumb while fielding. Zak Crawley currently leads England's response with an unbeaten 64 runs, but they face a tough road ahead to chase down Pakistan's lead. The match remains finely balanced, with England needing to dismiss the remaining Pakistani batsmen quickly to secure a historic win.
