Pakistan Win 2nd Cricket Test Match Against England in Multan Cricket Stadium.

It was a bright morning for Pakistan cricket, a morning brighter than the golden rays of the sun on the green of the Multan International Cricket Stadium. Why not?  And the sword of retirement from the team, maybe forever. Since Shan Masood became the captain, he lost 6 Tests, could not win even one. Under his captaincy, Pakistan lost to Bangladesh for the first time in history. Not only a Test, but also a Test series.  Now they have a chance to win and save the series, as the third Test match is going to be decided.

Harkar has beaten England again at Multan International Cricket Stadium.

When England started the innings on the fourth morning of the match at the Multan International Cricket Stadium on Friday, they were 3 for 36. The target of 297 runs was tough, there were spinners in front and the pitch would help them. That was all England expected.  That they were invincible but there was also the fear that the spin track would not allow them to run.

Shaun Masood’s 1st win in 7th test in almost a year. As captain lost all 6 matches. Question is will he survive. No guarantees. What a bright morning for Pakistan cricket

What happened on the fourth day of the match on Friday?

The English camp had high hopes from Joy Root and Harry Brook, but the English batsmen appeared to be in fear of the spinners. With a run added, Ollie Pope caught Sajid Khan off his ball.
