Pakistan's Spinners Turn the Tide Against England in Multan
Sajid Khan's dynamic performance triggers a dramatic collapse in England's innings on a worn pitch.
- Ben Duckett's impressive century initially positioned England strongly at 211 for two, but the team's momentum quickly faltered.
- Sajid Khan, with his theatrical flair, took four crucial wickets, including key players Joe Root and Ben Stokes, in a rapid sequence.
- Pakistan's strategic decision to rely on spin paid off as the pitch, reused for seven days, began to favor their bowlers.
- England's lower order now faces a challenging task with a 127-run deficit and a deteriorating pitch that makes batting last difficult.
- Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts contributed effectively with the ball earlier, taking key wickets to bowl Pakistan out for 366.
