Pakistan vs England 2nd Test Highlights: Pakistan win inside four days to level series at 1-1

Tells Ali is one of the most experienced players and it does help to bowl with him. Mentions Agha played a crucial innings under pressure with tail.

12:23 (IST) Oct 18

England faced a stiff challenge chasing a big score on a wicket which was turning and they crumbled under the pressure. This time it was Noman Ali who was the pick. He finished with 8 and Sajid with two. The two spinners picked all 20 wickets and have helped Pakistan level the series. 

12:21 (IST) Oct 18

Pakistan then began with a decent lead of 75 but lost regular wickets in their second innings. At one stage they were in a spot of bother 156 for 8. Agha though batted brilliantly with the tail and stretched their lead to almost 300. 

12:20 (IST) Oct 18

England's top order began brilliantly though in reply, at one stage they were 211 for 2 but once Root and Duckett, the centurion for England fell, it went downhill for the visitors. Sajid Khan was the star for Pakistan as he finished with 7 wickets. 

12:18 (IST) Oct 18

First it was Kamran Ghulam, on a tough wicket, after electing to bat, in a pressure situation, came out and scored a fine ton. He did get support from a few others but he was the mainstay and helped his side get to a score which we felt was par at that time. 

12:17 (IST) Oct 18

That's a strong win for Pakistan! They have roared back in style to level the series! A lot of questions were raised when they left out their top guns but the new guys who came in have been absolutely brilliantly and are the ones who have helped them win the game.
