First Test for England in Pakistan, from memory, since '05. England lost.

Sounds like game might be delayed as several England players are ill.
Maybe only a handful of tickets have been sold to make that possible. A bit of a faff for the broadcasters though.
Not readily able to remember this happening brfore.

This is the team England have named, but I suppose illness could bring changes.
Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes (wk), Liam Livingstone, Jack Leach, Ollie Robinson, James Anderson.
Livingstone looks a bit exposed as a front line bowler.

Is he a frontline bowler? He'll bowl a few along with honest Joe if conditions suit. Presumably Leach will take an end and the 3 seamers will rotate at the other. I've assumed he's there to grab quick runs if they find themselves playing on a dog

Has there ever been this amount of runs scored before lunch on the first day of a test?

No Foakes. Presume it's the mystery virus.

Well done to Ben Duckett (Bendy? Duckie?) on his first Test ton. He's out now though, and Crawley.

Saud Shakeel, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Ali and Zahid Mehmood make debut for the hosts.
Foakes is ill, said Gentle Ben at the toss.
Crawley and Duckett score big first time together.
