Abrar Ahmed takes seven in debut innings as Pakistan cramp ... (ESPNcricinfo.com)

The spinner was on course for a record debut haul, but Zahid Mahmood got in on the act to finish off the innings.

Will Jacks batted with poise but impermanence for the third Test innings in a row, reaching his new top-score of 31 before missing a sweep to become victim No. The fact that these conditions were significantly more bowler-friendly than at Rawalpindi, however, was telegraphed by Zahid, Pakistan's other legspinner, whose own debut in the first Test could hardly have been more contrasting - on that occasion, his four first-innings wickets had come at a eye-watering cost of 235 runs. By the time the sun had set, he had eased along to 61 not out in an 14.3-over partnership with Shakeel, and if the ovation that greeted his half-century rivalled even that for Abrar's feat, it came too with the sense that he is the man to ensure that such a bowling display does not go to waste. With the new ball in hand, Anderson's early extraction of Imam-ul-Haq briefly reinforced that notion, as he feathered a lifter outside off and trooped off bemused for a duck. [Zahid Mahmood](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/zahid-mahmood-433614)got in on the act with the final three wickets of the innings, including two in two to pick off wickets eight and nine. En route, they even set another new Test record in an extended two-and-a-half-hour morning session, reaching lunch on 180 for 5 from 32 overs - the most runs ever made in the first session of a match, and eclipsing the 174 for 0 they'd managed at the same stage in Rawalpindi.
