Pakistan's opening partnership struggles continue in England Test

Pakistan's opening woes persisted in the first Test against England at Headingley in Leeds. Azan Awais was dismissed for a duck by Ollie Robinson off the opening ball of the three-match series. The second innings brought further disappointment when Imam-ul-Haq was also dismissed for a duck by Jofra Archer.

The failure extends Pakistan's lengthy struggle to build a substantial opening partnership on English soil. The team has not managed a 50-plus opening stand in England for 16 years, a persistent weakness that continues to hamper their performance in overseas conditions.
