After playing out one of the most thrilling Test matches of recent times, Pakistan and England gear up to lock horns once again in the 2nd Test at Multan. Ben Stokes' England won the previous Test in Rawalpindi by 74 runs and Babar Azam's Pakistan will surely try to level the series.
As many as four England batsmen smashed centuries on Day 1 of the previous Test, with Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook's heroics helping the Three Lions reach 657 runs in their first innings.
Pakistan also roared back into the contest by smashing 579 runs courtesy of centuries from Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam, but England showed brave character when they declared their second innings at 264/7, and still managed to restrict the home side below the required target, minutes before the match was due to be declared a draw.
After winning the first Test, Stokes said that he has 'no interest' playing for a draw, and a similar 'all in or nothing' approach would be expected from the visitors, while Babar and Co will eye revenge.
