  "summary": "Stuart Broad called Pakistan a poor side and expects England to win the series. Pakistan's batting struggled, being bowled out for 171 on the first day. England then took a significant first-innings lead of 195 runs. Several England batters scored half-centuries, with Harry Brook narrowly missing a century. Broad's comments add pressure on Pakistan to recover in the ongoing contest.",
