   England and Pakistan begin Test series at Headingley

   Most outlets reported that England won the toss and elected to bowl first in the opening Test match against Pakistan at Headingley. Several mentions of this decision were framed in the context of it being the first match of England captain Joe Root’s second stint as Test captain or part of the post-Bazball era. A few outlets also noted in passing specific on-field developments, such as Pakistan’s stand-in captain Salman Ali Agha and early dismissals of Azan Awais and Shan Masood, but these were not central to the framing of the event. The emphasis on the captaincy and era context varied slightly between outlets.
