Pakistan Takes Command in Second Test Against England

Pakistan solidified their position in the second Test against England in Multan, as England found themselves struggling at 37/3 on Day 4, chasing a challenging target of 297 runs. Thanks to an impressive bowling performance from Pakistan’s spinners, Sajid Khan and Noman Ali, England’s top order was shaken early in the morning session.

With the score at 291 and needing 297 to win, Sajid Khan made a significant impact by taking two wickets, including that of Ollie Pope, who scored 22 off 38 balls in a sharp caught-and-bowled dismissal. Pope had shown some resistance alongside Joe Root, but his exit has left England in a precarious position. Sajid’s bowling figures stand at 6.2 overs, 27 runs conceded, and two wickets taken, while Noman Ali contributed by dismissing opener Ben Duckett, leaving England reeling at 37/3.

Starting the day needing 260 runs for victory, England now faces a daunting challenge as Pakistan’s spinners exploit the fourth-day pitch, which offers significant turn and bounce. Joe Root remains at the crease with 12 runs off 26 balls, but with 260 runs still required and seven wickets in hand, England must produce a remarkable effort to avoid defeat.

With over 88 overs left in the day, the match remains delicately poised, but Pakistan is currently in a commanding position as their bowlers continue to exert pressure.
