Pakistan won by 152 runs
Welcome to the fourth day of the second Test between Pakistan and England at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.
England have lost their third wicket on the fourth day of the 2nd PAK Vs ENG Test with Ollie Pope being dismissed by Sajid Khan. That's his 8 wicket of the Test and what a strike. The visitors have been dealt a major blow on the morning.
ENG - 41/3
After the dismissal of Ollie Pope, the visitors have lost Joe Root and it seems another wicket in this hour and Pakistan would dream of a victory in Multan today. The PAK spinners are on a roll and with the pitch assisting them, there's nothing that the English batters can do.
ENG - 56/4
England have gone six down and are facing a Test defeat on Pakistan soil as Sajid Khan and Noman Ali torment the visitors with their spin. The PAK spinners have been brilliant and with Ben Stokes only recognised batter left, the writing is on the wall for the visitors.
ENG -111/6
England are eight down in Multan and it seems it's just a matter of time when Pakistan spinners close the tail and claim their first win on home soil. Finally, Shan Masood will have the monkey off his back and the hosts deserve this.
Shan Masood, PAK Captain: First one is always special, it has come after some hard times. A lot has happened over the last week. You have to applaud the group. You can't doubt the effort. It'll be special for everyone. We were able to pick 20 wickets and post decent totals. A change of strategy. We tried green seamers against Bangladesh. We haven't played too much Test cricket in Multan. Noman and Sajid coming in, it's never easy, they looked like seasoned campaigners. Zahid didn't bowl much but he was there for the team and so was Jamal. Everyone chipped in. For Kami (Kamran Ghulam), it's never easy, we were all behind him, he looked like he belonged here. Agha is probably one of my favourite players, he's a team player.
Ben Stokes, ENG Captain: If you look at the whole Test, the ones who had success were the ones who put the spinners under pressure. Duckett's hundred in the first innings showed us the way. I don't like to live by hindsight. You don't get them too often behind the wickets, you have to take those chances. In conditions like this, Potts and Carse kept charging in ball after ball. That's what you want. They were a big threat which a massive help. Good to get through this game, worked hard to get fit for this game. Looking forward to the next week now. It's been a great series so far.
Sajid Khan | Player of the Match
We lost the last two series, we just backed our process. Thanks to the Multan crowd for all the support. Noman is one of the most experienced players, he shares his experienced and he's played everywhere. First innings, I got out early and he scored. In the second innings, I batted below him and gave support to Salman.
