Kamran Ghulam saves the day for Pakistan in PAK vs ENG 2nd Test
Opting to bat first in the 2nd Test on the same lifeless pitch in Multan, Pakistan lost opener Abdullah Shafique and skipper Shan Masood cheaply and early on in the innings. It was then Sain Ayub and Kamran Ghulam who took matters into their own hands to steady the ship for the hosts. While Ayub departed after a 77-run knock, it was debutant Ghulam who continued the fight against England with his century. Ghulam’s innings was brought to an end by Shoaib Bashir, who cleaned the batter up with a beautiful delivery, brining the curtains down on his knock after 224 deliveries.

England managed to strike five times on Day 1 in Multan, with spinners enjoying more success. Jack Leach bagged two wickets to his name while Bashir, Carse and Potts picked one wicket each.
