England’s bowlers Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue take five-wicket hauls on the opening day of the first Test against Pakistan at Headingley, putting the hosts in early control. Pakistan are bowled out for 171, with both England seamers taking five-wicket figures in the innings.
England then respond at the crease, finishing day one on 112 for 2 at stumps. That leaves the home side 59 runs behind Pakistan’s first-innings total. With wickets taken early by Robinson and Tongue, the day’s focus across reports is on England’s bowling dominance and the advantage it gives in the first-innings battle.
All outlets agree on the same core events: both players claim five wickets each, Pakistan are dismissed for 171, and England end the day two down, setting up the next phase of the match.
