Guest skipper Ben Stokes had won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan.
It is worth noting that Abrar had taken the first 7 wickets of England and for a point in time seemed extremely close to registering a 10-wicket haul, but Mahmood's impressive performance from the other end prevented the bowler from achieving the feat.
