Pakistan v England second Test: day one – in pictures

The first day of the second Test is a sun-splashed affair - which is no surprise really, this is Abu Dhabi after all. What's more surprising is that fans actually seem to have come to watch the match today, unlike the first Test in which the fielders sometimes outnumbered the spectators Photograph: Hassan Ammar/AP

Only one basic rule for those in attendance - no nudity. Let's all hope they adhere to that Photograph: Paul Childs/Action Images

On to the actual cricket ... which England were pretty poor at last time around. Today, however, they have added an extra spinner to their attack (Monty Panesar joins Graeme Swann, James Anderson and Stuart Broad) in a bold tactical move on a relatively flat wicket Photograph: Lakruwan Wanniarachchi/AFP/Getty Images

Mohammad Hafeez and Taufeeq Umar provide some initial resistance ... but Swann fools Umar into leaving a ball which rips out his off stump, reducing the 'home side' to 51-1 Photograph: Gareth Copley/Getty Images

Misbah-ul-Haq hits five fours and four sixes. That's taken Pakistan from only 103-4 to 203-4, much to the delight of the crowd Photograph: Hassan Ammar/AP

But Swann then traps Shafiq lbw on 58 to break the partnership and trigger another flurry of wickets Photograph: Paul Childs/Action Images

England are in control of the match by the end of the day - Pakistan finish on 256-7 - and with the wicket offering joy to the spinners, Pakistan may struggle to build on that total tomorrow Photograph: Paul Childs/Action Images
