Pakistan Troops Over England's Defense on Eventful Test Day

During the second day of the test match in Multan, Pakistan scored 556 in their first innings. Salman Agha shone with an unbeaten 104, while England's top order suffered after Ben Duckett's injury. England struggled with bowling; Naseem Shah and Saud Shakeel showed resilience but were ultimately dismissed.

In Multan, the second day of the opening test match witnessed Pakistan amassing a formidable 556 runs in their first innings, with Salman Agha contributing an impressive unbeaten century. England's response was led by Zak Crawley with a solid 64, despite being forced to reshuffle their top order due to Ben Duckett's thumb injury.

Naseem Shah's outstanding performance not only with the ball but also the bat was noteworthy, scoring a career-best 33 and forming a crucial 64-run partnership with Saud Shakeel. England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope found reviewing decisions challenging, perpetuating his streak of unsuccessful attempts.

Naseem's resilience alongside Shakeel came to an end when Brydon Carse claimed his first test wicket. Salman Agha's century was punctuated by exuberant celebrations, leading Pakistan to extract 118 runs within a mere 26 overs. As England faced challenges in the field, Root ended Pakistan's innings with a surprise move that saw Abrar Ahmed dismissed.
