  • A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.

Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

England bowler Ollie Robinson took three wickets on the first day of the first Test against Pakistan at Headingley. Robinson claimed a wicket with the first ball of the match, trapping Azan Awais lbw, and later dismissed Shan Masood lbw for five. After a period of rain that halted play with Pakistan at 23 for 2, the match resumed and Robinson eventually dismissed Saud Shakeel lbw for five. Pakistan reached 117 for 4 by the 36th over, with Abdullah Shafique scoring a half century. Imam ul Haq was dismissed for 42, caught by Harry Brook off the bowling of Josh Tongue.

England won the toss and elected to field first. The team is led by Joe Root in his second stint as full time captain following the retirement of Ben Stokes. England also entered the match without former red ball coach Brendon McCullum, who was sacked following a series loss to New Zealand. Pakistan is playing without captain Babar Azam due to a hand injury, leaving Salman Ali Agha to lead the side for the first time in a Test match.
