Action got under way early at Headingley. Pakistan took on England in the first Test match. Harry Brook removed Pakistani batter Imam-ul-Haq. He went. That catch left Imam the sixth player from Pakistan to exceed 700 runs in one Test match. Imam got 714 runs in the first innings for England's second innings. Nevertheless, the team was dismissed in that first innings.
Further action took place too. Jonathan Bairstow hit a century. He became England's youngest Test captain ever. That knock pushed him to 1,000 Test runs. Babar Azam was dismissed before Pakistan got to 100 runs. He could not stop them losing the match.
