In the second Test, England defeated Pakistan by 26 runs. Won the Series by 2-0

With two full days left, Pakistan’s second innings was resumed on Monday at 198-4 and needed 157 more runs, but they were shut out for 328.

England won the second Test by a narrow margin of 26 runs on Monday in Multan thanks to four Pakistan wickets taken by Mark Wood, giving them a commanding 2-0 series lead after two games. After lunch, Pakistan was bowled for 328 after being assigned a difficult 355-run total. The quick bowler finished with 4-65. Mohammad Nawaz (45) and Saud Shakeel (94) were both dismissed by Wood in the space of just 12 balls and one run, turning the contest in England’s favor after Wood missed England’s 74-run victory in the first Test in Rawalpindi due to a hip injury.

After lunch, when Pakistan had slipped to 291-7, Agha Salman (20 not out) and Abrar Ahmed (17) made an unexpected effort to win the match and salvage the series.

However, James Anderson successfully caught Ahmed, Wood eliminated Zahid Mahmood without a point, and Ollie Robinson concluded the game by taking out Mohammad Ali at position eleven for nought, leading to celebrations in the England camp.
