PAK vs ENG: Jack Leach took 3 wickets in the first innings

Ollie Pope lost his wicket in the second over of the innings

The first success for Pakistan was given by Naseem Shah, who tightened the noose on England captain Ollie Pope in the very second over of the innings. Ollie Pope (o) tried to hit a big shot, but Amir Jamal took a brilliant one-handed catch while diving at mid-wicket.

UNBELIEVABLE CATCH 😲
