Pakistan go down against England in their first warm-up game

Pakistan decided to rest skipper Babar and wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan and test their bench strength in the warm-up game against England at the Gabba on Monday, October 17. All-rounder Shadab Khan led the side in Babar's absence. Asked to bat first in a rain-curtailed 19-over game, the batters struggled against the English bowlers. Shan Masood, who opened the innings, batted well for his 39 off 22 balls, but others failed to chip in with significant contributions. At one stage it looked like they would struggle to cross the 150-run mark, but Mohammad Wasim's 26 off 16 deliveries helped the team post a sizeable total on the board.
