    "editor1": "<p><strong>Manchester, Aug 5:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes bowled with venom and snared two wickets to disturb Pakistan&#39;s watchful start as they reached 53\/2 at Lunch on Day 1 of the first Test between England and Pakistan at Old Trafford here on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the break, opener Shan Masood and Babar Azam were batting on 27 and 4 respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Electing to bat first, the tourists were off to a steady start as openers Shan Masood and Abid Ali put away the early threat from veteran new-ball bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England captain Joe Root introduced the slippery Archer and it worked as the gun-quick rattled Ali&#39;s stumps with a full delivery after setting him up with a barrage of bouncers in the previous over. Ali made the long walk back to the dressing room scoring 16.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan skipper Azhar Ali soon joined the opener as he was trapped in front by Woakes, failing to open his account.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan&#39;s best batsman Babar was out in the middle with the team suddenly in need of a solid partnership. Masood looked composed at the other end with Archer mixing it up and Woakes hitting the deck hard and using the crease well to probe the batsmen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It took Babar 15 balls to get off the mark, as he took a single to bring up Pakistan&#39;s score to 50. The first session was interrupted by light rain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief Scores: Pakistan 53\/2 (Masood 27 batting, Babar 4 batting; Archer 1\/7, Woakes 1\/14) vs England<\/p>\r\n",
