Cricket: Pakistan finish day one 286-4 after Shoaib Malik century

Shoaib Malik scored an unbeaten century on his first Test appearance in over five years as Pakistan reached 286-4 at the end of day one of the first Test against England. Malik will begin day two on 124 not out after a patient innings in the sweltering heat of Abu Dhabi. There was also a landmark moment for Younis Khan, who became Pakistan's all-time leading run-scorer before falling for 38.

England lost the toss and were put into the field by Pakistan, but James Anderson was able to take an early wicket as Shan Masood diverted the ball onto his stumps. Anderson almost had a second wicket, but Ian Bell dropped Mohammad Hafeez early in the innings before the opener went on to make 98, falling just shy of his century as Ben Stokes trapped him lbw. 

Malik and Younis then put on 74 for the third wicket after lunch before Khan was caught by Alastair Cook off the bowling of Stuart Broad. Misbah-ul-Haq was next in and added just three to the scoreboard before he was gone in controversial circumstances, with the third umpire giving him out caught on the replay, despite there being no snicko or hot-spot available on review. Just before the close of play, Bell again put down a simple slip catch which would have removed Asad Shafiq, who is 11 not out.
