    What's the story

    England are ahead of Pakistan on Day 1 of the 3rd Test being held in Rawalpindi.

    The Three Lions have taken three Pakistani wickets as Day 1 ended with the hosts scoring 73/3 at stumps.

    Earlier, England managed 267 runs in their first innings. Notably, England were 118/6 at one stage.

    Pakistan will feel a bit dejected with their overall show. Here's more.

    England

    From 56/0, England struggle at 118/6

    Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley added 56 runs for the first wicket.

    England lost Crawley, Ollie Pope and Joe Root in quick succession before Duckett brought up his fifty in the 24th over.

    A length delivery which turned in sharply from Noman, had Duckett dismissed shortly thereafter.

    Harry Brook was dismissed cheaply as England were 98/5.

    Ben Stokes departed thereafter (118/6).

    Duckett

    12th fifty from Duckett's blade

    Duckett's impressive series continued. He managed 52 and has raced to 2,078 runs at 41.56. This was his 12th fifty (100s: 4).

    As per ESPNcricinfo, Duckett has surpassed 600 runs versus Pakistan (607) in Tests at 67.44. He registered his fifth fifty (100s: 2).

    In 17 away matches (31 innings), Duckett owns 1,211 runs at 40.36. This was his 7th fifty (100s: 3).

    Jamie Smith and Gus Atkinson shared a massive 107-run stand for the 7th wicket to bail England out. Pacer Atkinson showed his batting heroics with a knock of 39 from 71 balls. Meanwhile, Smith slammed 89 runs and helped England to a respectable score.

    Smith was dismissed by Zahid Mahmood. The former attempted a big shot and was caught.

    Smith's 89 takes him to 634 runs at 45.28. This was his fourth fifty in Tests (100s: 1).
