PAK vs. ENG, 2nd Test: Abrar Ahmed excels in debut

Second Test between Pakistan and England: Ben Stokes and his powerful English team are attempting to escape their chains. Abrar Ahmed, who just made his debut, took five wickets and accomplished a record feat.

Ben Stokes’ English cricket team will undoubtedly try to win the series when they play Pakistan in Multan. Under the leadership of head coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes, England is performing admirably on their maiden overseas trip. Thanks to their epic triumph in Rawalpindi last week, England leads the series 1-0. On the other hand, Pakistan has taken the field and is battling to keep both themselves and the series alive despite Haris Rauf’s injury.

Ben Stokes chose to bat first after winning the toss, continuing their tendency from the first Test match. In the first game, they dominated with the bat handily, but when they arrived in Multan, things suddenly changed for them. England is in serious difficulty, and their “go for the kill” strategy isn’t helping them at all. Abrar Ahmed, who is making his debut for Pakistan, has been amazing. Abrar defeated Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ollie Pope, Ben Duckett, and Zak Crawley in his maiden game for Pakistan. Crawley, Duckett, Pope, and Brook’s century gave England the upper hand in the first Test, but Abrar restrained them and caught England in the second game.

Abrar has now joined an exclusive group of 13 Pakistani bowlers who have taken five or more wickets in a single Test match. After a 16-year absence, Multan is hosting a Test match, and Abrar has made it a special occasion. Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, offered a rather succinct insider report on the Multan field amid all the criticism that the Rawalpindi pitch received. Babar claimed that he anticipated the ball turning, and sure enough, it did. Abrar has taken five wickets so far, and given Multan’s surface conditions, perhaps there will be more spinnery to come.
