Pakistan made the perfect start to their match against England as opener Phil Salt fell victim to a stunning first-ball dismissal. The England batsman was caught by Usman Khan off the bowling of Shaheen Shah Afridi, leaving the tourists reeling from the very first delivery. This early breakthrough has given Pakistan the momentum they were looking for.

Afridi's delivery was a masterclass in precision, exploiting the conditions to perfection and catching Salt off guard. The left-arm pacer's ability to swing the ball both ways has been a constant threat throughout the series, and this wicket further cements his reputation as a match-winner. Usman Khan's sharp catch in the slips added to the drama, showcasing Pakistan's fielding prowess.

The dismissal of Salt so early in the innings puts immense pressure on England's middle order to stabilize the innings. With the series finely poised, this wicket could prove to be a turning point. Pakistan's bowlers will be eager to build on this momentum and push for more breakthroughs, while England's batsmen will need to show resilience to recover from this early setback.
