Multan (Web Desk): England were dismissed for 281 on the first day of the second Test in Multan on Friday.

Pakistan's spinner Abrar Ahmed claimed 7-114 on his remarkable Test debut while Zahid Mehmood got three wickets.

England’s Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope scored half centuries.

Pakistan scored 107/2 at stumps.

Earlier, England won the toss and decided to bat first against the host team Pakistan.
Pakistan made three injury replacements for the second Test against England.

The hosts are already without pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi, who misses the series following an appendicitis surgery, and further injuries have forced them to make three changes.

Fast bowlers Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are out, along with top-order batsman Azhar Ali.

The home side have replaced them with all-rounders Mohammad Nawaz and Faheem Ashraf and uncapped spinner Abrar Ahmed.
