Shan Masood leads the charge as Pakistan dominates Day 1 of the first Test against England!

The much-anticipated first Test between Pakistan and England kicked off in Multan, and right from the beginning, it was all about the home team as the Pakistan captain, Shan Masood, stole the show. After a grueling 1524 days without a century, Masood not only ended his drought but also delivered a stellar performance, scoring a remarkable 150 runs! England’s bowlers, trying to make early inroads with the dismissal of Saim Ayub, found themselves on the back foot as the Pakistani batsmen took control.

Pakistan continued to pile on the runs with the second-wicket partnership between Masood and Abdullah Shafique, which surpassed an impressive 200 runs. Shafique, too, had his fair share of glory, inching closer to his own century with a dominant knock of 102 runs. As the scoreboard ticked up, fans marveled at Pakistan’s total of 328 runs for 4 wickets at the close of Day 1, cementing their stronghold in the match. The Multan Cricket Stadium buzzed with excitement as spectators witnessed some top-notch cricket.

While it’s great to see Shan Masood back in form, it's worth noting that England missed key player Ben Stokes, whose absence was felt in the field. The English bowlers toiled hard, but with a fortifying performance from Masood and Shafique, they seemed like children playing in a sandbox, helpless to stop the barrage coming their way. But, one can only wonder – can England's bowlers regroup and find a way to make a dent in Pakistan’s batting lineup or will they continue to be the spectators in a Pakistani fireworks display?

All eyes will be on England as the series progresses. As the home side looks to build on this momentum, we’ll keep you posted on all the action from Multan. In Test cricket history, centuries often define a player's career, and with Masood's return to form, he looks poised for even bigger feats. Fun fact: Pakistan has the most centuries scored in a single Test match against England, with 14, and when the batsmen are in full swing, who knows, they might just add a few more to that tally!
