Professional County Club Select XI 305 and 128 for 3 (Falconer 52*) lead Pakistan 238 (Shafique 61, Bashir 4-76) by 195 runs
Pakistan began day two on 44 without loss and Azan Awais added just one to his overnight score when he was caught behind off the other England player in the squad for the first Test at Headingley, Matt Fisher, for 15. Scoring was painfully slow until Shafique hit Bashir for six in the 24th over.
Bashir, however, then had Imam-ul-Haq caught behind for 37, before Babar was then forced from the field. His cry of pain was audible from the pavilion, having been hit on the same part of his hand that he had previously injured in the second Test against West Indies.
It was 119 for 2 at lunch, after which Shafique completed his half-century before retiring not out on 54. Bashir then got Salman Ali Agha for 14, caught at short leg by Falconer and in the next over Lumsden had Saud Shakeel caught by Saif Zaib at midwicket.
Awais Zafar went for a duck, skying Lumsden to Noah Thain at backward point and Bashir then had Aamer Jamal caught by Falconer for 8, the batter standing his ground with his hand on his hip for several seconds after umpire Ant Harris raised his finger.
When Zaib bowled Muhammad Rizwan for 22, Shafique was permitted to return, leaving Pakistan on 222 for 7 at tea, but he skied Zaib to Josh Hull in the third over of the evening session and the innings concluded when Bashir had Muhammad Ghazi Ghori caught at short fine leg by Zaib.
Gay collected his second duck of the match when Mohammad Ali had him caught behind by Rizwan and Tom Haines left a straight one to Sajid Khan and was bowled for 12.
Khan then caused some amusement by gesturing for a review when he had an appeal for lbw against James Rew, with the technology not available at Beckenham.
Rew looked fluent and he was joined by the equally impressive Falconer for a partnership worth 67, that was broken when Rew went for 40, caught by Shakeel off Ali Agha, but Shakeel then dropped Zaib in the penultimate over off the same bowler.
