England chose to bat first
Let us tell you that in the Rawalpindi Test, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and chose to bat first. His new opening pair gave England a wonderful start. Ben Duckett and Jack Crawley took England’s score past 100 in the 14th over itself. The rapid start of both made the Pakistani bowlers stand completely on the backfoot.
There were many hurdles in starting the Rawalpindi test as well. A day before the match, the health of 14 England players including Ben Stokes had deteriorated. The decision to start the match was also taken on Thursday morning. The good thing is that the match started on time.
