(CNN) -- Pakistan's batsmen capitulated for the second successive match as England took control on the opening day of the second cricket Test in Birmingham.
The tourists slumped to 72 all out after winning the toss and deciding to bat first in overcast conditions at Edgbaston, then England reached 112-2 when bad light stopped play early Friday evening.
Pakistan were dismissed for 80 in a similarly bowler-friendly scenario in the second innings at Nottingham, resulting in a 354-run defeat, but captain Salman Butt had enough confidence to risk a repeat despite not including recalled senior batsman Mohammad Yousuf.
The 35-year-old did not arrive in England until Thursday, and has not played at the top level since receiving an indefinite ban in March -- which was surprisingly rescinded straight after the Trent Bridge debacle.
James Anderson took 11 wickets in that match, and claimed another four on Friday in conditions suited to his swing abilities.
His figures of 4-20 off 14.3 overs were ably backed up by Stuart Broad's 4-38 off 18, while Steven Finn snared 2-10 off eight as England once again needed only three bowlers to demolish Pakistan's line-up. CNN
