Ahead of the first Test between England and Pakistan at Headingley, English singer Laura Wright performs Pakistan’s national anthem. Multiple reports describe the performance taking place before play begins for the match.
In the same game, England captain Joe Root wins the toss and chooses to bowl. Ollie Robinson takes a wicket from the first ball and then dismisses Shan Masood soon after, leaving Pakistan at 6-2. Play is later interrupted by rain, and the innings continues to lunch with Pakistan on 23-2.
Both outlets report Robinson’s figures as 2-12 at that stage, indicating an early breakthrough for England while Pakistan responds cautiously amid the weather disruption.
