England opener Emilio Gay faced an early setback as he was dismissed for a golden duck in a warm-up match against Pakistan on Wednesday. Playing for a Professional County Club Select XI, Gay was out in the third over. Despite Gay's early exit, the team managed to recover and set a total of 305 all out, thanks to half-centuries from Tom Haines, Caleb Falconer, Saif Zaib, and Matt Fisher. Pakistan paceman Mohammad Abbas took 3-37, contributing to the early collapse that saw the PCC Select XI at 69-3.

Haines led the recovery with a quickfire 51, followed by notable contributions from Falconer (59), Zaib (65), and Fisher (62 not out). Fisher's innings, batting at number 10, proved crucial in lifting the team's total. Meanwhile, Pakistan's openers, Azan Awais and Imam-ul-Haq, remained unbeaten at the close of play, with Awais on 15 and Haq on 26.

The match, held in Beckenham, serves as the final preparation for both teams ahead of the three-Test series starting next week at Headingley. Gay is working to prove his fitness after a shoulder injury sustained during the One-Day Cup last week. The series between England and Pakistan is set to be a significant contest, with both teams looking to gain an early advantage.

Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas was instrumental in the early stages, taking the wickets of both Gay and James Rew. The PCC Select XI's ability to bounce back from an early slump was a testament to their depth and resilience. The warm-up match provided valuable insights into the potential strategies and form of the players ahead of the upcoming Test series.
