This has been a one-sided Test series, and Pakistan did little to wrest away England’s overall dominance on the first day at Edgbaston.By the close, the hosts already enjoyed a lead of 23 runs after winning the toss and bowling Pakistan out early in the afternoon session. The tourists, having sent home seven players and their coaching staff mid-series, made four changes but really only spied solace in the performance of Razaullah Khan, one of three debutants.This game is going the same way as the others, with England in control. On the first day in Birmingham:
Ollie Robinson claimed his 100th Test wicket by trapping Saim Ayub leg before wicket
Pakistan offered little to no resistance and were skittled out for 133 inside 34 overs
Joe Root was LBW for the 10th time in 13 Test innings as England slipped to 39-3 in reply
Emilio Gay (60) and Harry Brook (52 not out) saw them into the lead, with Razaullah (2-42) offering the visitors hope
