The Multan Cricket Stadium will host the second Test of the ongoing three-match series between Pakistan and England. After a resounding defeat in the first Test, Pakistan, will be keen to bounce back on their home turf. England, on the other hand, will enter the match with high confidence, and a bolstered lineup, following a dominant performance in the series opener.
Pakistan’s Struggles In the Series Opener
Pakistan’s start to the series was disappointing. Despite posting an impressive first-innings total of 556, their bowlers failed to capitalise, allowing England to take control of the game. England replied with a massive score and ultimately bowled Pakistan out for 220 in the second innings, securing a victory by an innings and 47 runs.
The defeat exposed weaknesses in Pakistan's bowling attack, prompting the PCB to make significant changes to the squad. Notably, Babar Azam has been dropped from the lineup, a decision that has sparked considerable debate.
For Pakistan, this match is more than just a chance to even the series—it’s an opportunity to restore confidence and prove their mettle on home soil.
England’s Remarkable All-round Performance In First Test
After a commanding performance in the first Test, England come into this match with plenty of confidence. Their all-round strength was on full display, and the return of star all-rounder Ben Stokes adds even more depth to their squad.
Joe Root, with his unmatched experience and skill, remains England’s primary weapon with the bat. Root will likely be supported by a formidable lineup that includes Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Harry Brook, each capable of punishing bowlers with power and precision.
England’s batting lineup has proven adept at countering both spin and pace, an asset that will be crucial on the Multan surface.
