England opener Emilio Gay suffered his second duck of the Test warm-up against Pakistan, falling for a seven-ball duck to Mohmmad Ali. This comes after he was dismissed by Mohmmad Abbas on day one. Gay's appearance allays fitness concerns after a recent shoulder injury, with the first Test at Headingley set for next Wednesday.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam also had an eventful day, retiring hurt on five after being struck on the right hand by a delivery from Manny Lumsden. A statement confirmed Babar will sit out the remainder of the game as a precaution but will join practice in Leeds on Monday. Pakistan were bowled out for 238, surrendering a 67-run first-innings deficit.

Spinner Shoaib Bashir took 4-76 for the County Select XI. Abdullah Shafique top-scored for Pakistan with 61. The home team extended their lead to 195 by stumps, with Caleb Falconer scoring his second half-century.
