Though, Pakistani batters started brilliantly by stitching a 41-run opening partnership between Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq. Later, Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan tried to carry on the momentum. The duo added 82 runs together before Babar Azam was dismissed by Mohammed Siraj. Soon, Rizwan was also sent back to the pavilion by Jasprit Bumrah.
