ENGLAND fought back from the loss of two quick wickets after lunch to reach 190 for four against Pakistan at tea on day one of the first test yesterday.
Paul Collingwood was 27 not out with Eoin Morgan on 44, including nine boundaries, after adding 72 for the fifth wicket. Morgan was particularly ruthless with Pakistan's inaccurate spinners, even reverse-sweeping Danish Kaneria for a boundary and at one stage taking six fours in 12 balls.
Kevin Pietersen (9) and Jonathan Trott (38) fell in successive overs after lunch.
Openers Alastair Cook (8), caught at first slip, and Andrew Strauss (45), caught behind, were dismissed in the morning by Mohammad Aamer, who has three for 25.
The dry pitch is turning and showing early signs of uneven bounce.
Pakistan, seeking to avenge its 3-0 series loss in England in 2006, has used up its allocated two reviews. It erred in asking for clarification on two Mohammad Asif deliveries to Pietersen.
England successfully used the Decision Review System (DRS) before lunch when Trott appealed against umpire Asoka de Silva's decision to give him out LBW to Kaneria after he had got an inside edge. But it then lost one review on Trott's dismissal.
After the unsuccessful Pietersen appeals, Pakistan did not have to wait long for a breakthrough, as England slipped from 116 for two to 118 for four.
A rusty-looking Pietersen, who had played his last first-class innings some seven weeks ago, was bowled by Asif off an inside edge when lunging forward at a ball that seamed back in slightly.
Trott played no stroke to an inswinger from left-arm paceman Aamer and was LBW.
Morgan, on five, survived a vocal appeal for a catch behind off Aamer.
