Pakistan's Noman Ali drew the first blood by dismissing England's Zak Crawley in the ongoing 2nd Test match in Multan. Even after scoring 336 runs in the first innings, Pakistan were struggling hard to get one wicket as openers Crawley and Ben Duckett started hitting the bowlers. However, Ali's brilliant bowling saved the hosts. Crawley was dismissed in the 12th over when he was batting on 27 runs. 

It was a close call as the ball hit the bat but the on-field umpires didn't give him out. Later, Captain Shan Masood went for DRS after discussing with the team. The DRS showed a clear spike on the Ultraedge and Crawley had to depart. After his dismissal, Ollie Pope came in and scored 29 runs in 37 balls. This time, Sajid Khan sent the batter back to the pavilion. 

As we write, England have scored 160 runs in 30 overs thanks to Ben Duckett's 94 runs off 103 balls including 14 boundaries. He's a class player who failed to score runs in the 1st Test match. He is been accompanied by Joe Root, the double centurion of the previous match. 

Kamran Ghulam's blistering century helps Pakistan score 366 runs vs England

In the 2nd Test match between Pakistan and England, Kamran Ghulam scored a scintillating century, helping the Men in Green score 366 runs. Along with him, Saim Ayub scored 77 runs, which was another brilliant innings. Both players wreaked havoc on the England bowlers before getting all out in 366 runs. Mohammad Rizwan too scored 41 runs off 97 balls including five boundaries. 

England started on a great note and have some brilliant batters coming up next which will make the game interesting. Jack Leach claimed four wickets while Brydon Crase took three wickets. England will have a great game as the batters are well-settled and know how to change the course of the game.
