England endured a difficult start to day one of the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's, with opening batter Emilio Gay departing for a mere eight runs.

Gay's dismissal came courtesy of a spectacular diving catch by Pakistan's Muhammad Rizwan, a piece of fielding that was praised for its athleticism and precision. The catch gave Pakistan an early breakthrough against England's top order.

The early setback meant England were forced to rebuild from a shaky position after losing their opener so soon into the match, as Pakistan's fielding effort set the tone for the opening session at Lord's.
