England's Joe Root was seen having fun on the ground during the ongoing 2nd Test match against Pakistan as he rubbed the ball on Jack Leach's head to shine it. The 33-year-old was in his own element as the viewers enjoyed this moment. Everyone liked the new way of shining the ball as the video went viral on social media. Fans have flooded the comments section with hilarious comments.
Jack Leach was fantastic during the start of the game as he provided initial breakthroughs for England by dismissing Abdullah Shafique and captain Shan Masood. The spin was perfect as the batters couldn't understand and judged the ball wrong.
Watch the video here:
However, things turned in Pakistan's favour as Saim Ayub and Kamran Ghulam scored terrific half-centuries, helping Pakistan score 173 runs in 57 overs. Ayub was dismissed on 77 runs in 160 balls while Kamran is still on the crease, batting on 75 runs off 145 balls. His batting has been amazing, as he has hit five boundaries and six. He is defending the good balls with grace, which speaks volumes about the kind of batter he is.

Pakistan's pride in danger
Pakistan's pride is in serious danger after losing a 2-match Test series to Bangladesh and the 1st Test match against England. They are losing matches in their own home ground, which has invited a lot of criticism. Moreover, now that PCB has dropped Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Afridi, if Pakistan loses the match, the former players and fans will criticize the current team heavily.
England, on the other hand, will look to win the match and take the series home. They won the first match quite easily and had an upper edge over the hosts. Now, everything depends on Pakistan bowlers as to how they will mould the game when England come to bat.
