Pakistan were dismissed for a mammoth 556 in their first innings on the second day of the opening test against England on Tuesday, after Salman Agha hit a century.

Agha remained unbeaten on 104 -- his third test hundred -- as last man Abrar Ahmed was caught by Ben Duckett off Joe Root for three after Pakistan resumed the day in Multan at 328-4.

Pakistan lost Naseem Shah (33) and Mohammad Rizwan (nought) in the first session. Saud Shakeel scored 82 while Shaheen Shah Afridi made 26.

Left-arm spinner Jack Leach was the most successful English bowler with 3-160 while Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse took two wickets apiece.
