Pakistan spinners humble England for first win in seven Tests to even series

Creative Media NewsFriday, 18 October 2024, 12:090

England's already slim chance of winning the second Test evaporated on a steamy Friday morning as they threw their bats around - literally, in one case - and their wickets away, allowing Noman Ali and Sajid Khan to bowl Pakistan to their first home Test victory in 12 games and three and a half years.If a successful run chase appeared doubtful at the start of the day, with England's openers already dismissed and 261 runs still needed, it didn't take long for it to fall completely out of reach. England did not even get halfway to their objective, with Noman collecting eight second-inning wickets, seven of which came on a dizzying final morning, as they were bowled out for 144. Pakistan won by 152 runs, avoiding a series whitewash and securing a series decider in Rawalpindi next week.
