PAKISTAN made its lowest ever test score against England at Edgbaston yesterday, when it was bowled out for 72 after an hour of the afternoon session on day one.
James Anderson took 4-20, while Stuart Broad claimed 4-38 to leave Pakistan all out after just 39.3 overs.
Umar Amin was Pakistan's top scorer with 23, after the touring side won the toss and chose to bat despite difficult conditions at Edgbaston.
England nearly made an instant breakthrough when James Anderson hit Imran Farhat on the pads with the second ball of the day.
Scoring proved exceptionally difficult and the pressure England exerted paid off after half an hour, as Farhat, still yet to score, edged a Broad ball behind to Matt Prior in the eighth over. Salman Butt (7) batted for 55 minutes before he was caught by Graeme Swann in the 14th over.
Shoaib Malik (3) was promoted up the order to No. 4, but the move backfired an over later when he nicked an outswinger from Anderson and was caught by Prior.
Akmal flicked a Broad delivery for six over deep square leg at the start of the 19th over, but four balls later the same bowler had Azhar Ali LBW for 0. Akmal was LBW to Finn with the last ball of the 24th over.
Three balls later debutant Zulqarnain Haider was out for a golden duck to Broad.
Amin was dropped by Swann off Broad in the fifth over after lunch, the 31st, and he edged the next delivery over the slips for a rare boundary.
A four from Amin in the 33rd steered Pakistan past its lowest ever test score -- 53 against Australia in Sharjah in 2002.
