Pakistan Levels Series with Win in Multan

Pakistan broke their 11-match winless streak at home with a decisive victory over England in the second Test at Multan, thanks to the spin duo of Noman Ali and Sajid Khan who took all 20 wickets between them. Noman Ali set a record as the oldest Pakistani to achieve a 10-wicket haul in Tests and delivered the second-best bowling figures by a Pakistani on home soil with 8-46. Debutant Kamran Ghulam's 118 runs and Agha Salman's 63 were pivotal in setting a challenging target for England, who were all out for 144 in the fourth innings. England's Ben Duckett stood out with a century, marking his fourth Test ton and surpassing 2,000 Test runs, but his efforts were undermined by a batting collapse. Despite Duckett's dynamic performance, the English side struggled against the turning pitch and Pakistan's spin attack. The series is now leveled 1-1, setting the stage for a deciding match in Rawalpindi.
