Mohammad Hafeez fell just short of his ninth Test century as Pakistan reached 173-2 at tea on day one of the first Test against England.
The opener, who was dropped by Ian Bell early in the opening session, was out lbw off the bowling of Ben Stokes for 98.

He scored the bulk of his runs against the spin of Adil Rashid in Abu Dhabi, with England's seamers all much tighter with their bowling.
Hafeez spent most of his time at the crease with Shoaib Malik (72*), who is making his first Test appearance in over five years. The pair's second-wicket partnership came to an end at 168 as Hafeez was trapped by Stokes with the last ball before tea.
Earlier in the afternoon session, Stuart Broad thought that he had removed Malik just after Pakistan moved into three figures, but his wicket was chalked off because he overstepped the line for a no-ball.
