England reached 248 for eight against Pakistan at Lord's before bad light ended the first day of the second Test. Jordan Cox was dismissed for 55 after a diving catch by substitute fielder Salman Ali Agha at slip.

Mohammad Abbas took four wickets to give Pakistan the edge on a day dominated by seam bowling. Jamie Smith also scored a half-century for the hosts.

Cox and Smith fought back with their fifties after Pakistan's bowlers struck early. The match continues with England needing to add to their total on the second day.

CricHubb Take

Pakistan's decision to keep Salman Ali Agha on the bench may pay off across the series — a fielder who can change the match from the sidelines is an extra weapon they can deploy in later Tests.
