The second Test between England and Pakistan witnessed an animated yet funny moment. Skipper Ben Stokes was stumped by Muhammad Rizwan in an unexpected away after a brilliant, masterful delivery by Noman Ali outfoxed him. 

Ben Stokes looked in utter disbelief as his bat flew to one end and his clarity to understand 'what just happened' to another. The English batter, who made a much-awaited return after his knee injury, was forced to walk back after scoring 37 runs off 36 balls.

The man behind this magical delivery was Noman Ali, who was visibly in raging form as he had already picked up a five-wicket haul.

In the 28th over, Ali bowled a tossed-up delivery around the middle and leg, a slower delivery of a meagre 72 kmph. Stokes confidently stepped down the track and looked to heave it big across the line; he swung his bat hard, because of which it slipped right out of his hand and flew towards the square leg. However, he was beaten on the inside edge. Rizwan did not waste any time from behind the stumps as he immediately collected the ball and disturbed the stumps.

England Lose 2nd Test Against Pakistan

Eventually, Pakistan won the second Test match by 152 runs, as England lost their fifth Test match out of the last six in Asia. This victory for Pakistan can largely be credited to two spinners, Nauman Ali and Sajid Khan, who have been incredible additions to the team. They single-handedly scripted history by picking up all 20 wickets and, hence, must be credited for their brilliance with the red cherry throughout the second Test.  

With one point each, England and Pakistan will now meet one another for a tie-breaker at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi for the third and final Test starting from 24 October.
