Pakistan v England Tour 2022 - T20I & Tests

England won the toss & have elected to bat.

Stuart Broad is in the Sky Sports studio looking like a very tall Harry Potter.

Pakistan have made 3 changes, with Azar Ali, Naseem, & Rauf, replaced by Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, & Abrar Ahmed makes his debut.

Pakistan v England 2nd Test Multan Day 1 Close
England elected to bat
ENG 281 All out (51.4 overs) Duckett 63 Pope 60 Wood 36 no Jacks 31 Stokes 30 Abrar 7-114 Mahmood 3-63
Pakistan 107-2 (28 overs) Babar 61 no Shakeel 32 no

Similar runs to the 1st session of the 1st Test, but this time England are 5 down instead of none. This was also an extended session due to Friday prayers. I half expected this given the high-risk policy. A stubborn gameplan were the pitch conditions & match situation seem to be ignored.

When fast bowler Naseem was declared unfit, they changed the wicket to a drier one with less grass & selected 3 spinners. England had already named their side a day early, with 4 seamers, 1 spinner & 2 part-time spinners. Perhaps our young leggie should've been picked.

Bizarre test match so far England starting on the fire then all out just after 50 overs then Pakistan starting off pretty well then I was feeling like England wouldn't be batting again until later in the day getting a lead after overtaking Pakistans score oh I was soooo wrong sets up day 3 to be very tasty

An England like collapse from Pakistan today, from 142-2 they lost 8-60 in 28 overs.
