England v Pakistan: Story of day one at Edgbaston
Watch the best of the action from day one in the video below
Thursday 4 August 2016 20:15, UK
Gary Ballance scored 70 and Moeen Ali 63 but England were dismissed by Pakistan for 297 on day one at Edgbaston with Sohail Khan taking five wickets on his first Test appearance for five years.
Pakistan won the toss and surprised many by electing to field but they will feel vindicated after taking 10 England wickets, with Khan (5-96) getting his five-for with last ball of the day.
Alex Hales (17), Joe Root (3) and skipper Alastair Cook (45) were all back in the pavilion by lunch with James Vince (39) and Jonny Bairstow (12) following in the afternoon session.
Ballance was on 49 when England went to tea and brought up his 50 in the last session of the day before edging to Sarfraz Ahmed, giving Yasir Shah (1-64) his first wicket of the match.
Rahat (2-83), who trapped Cook lbw earlier in the day, then had Woakes (9) caught behind, before Mohammad Amir (2-53) removed both Stuart Broad (13) and Ali.
