PAK vs ENG 2nd Test, Full Scorecard: Pakistan 366 (Ghulam 118, Ayub 77, Leach 4-114) and 221 (Salman 63, Bashir 4-66) beat England 291 (Duckett 114, Sajid 7-111) and 144 (Noman 8-46) by 152 runs

It required something special for Pakistan to break an unwanted 11-test losing streak at home and spinners Noman Ali (11 wickets) and Sajid Khan (9 wickets) did exactly as the hosts pulled off a stunning 152-run win in the second test against England. Notably, England were set a target of 297 in the fourth innings as they could only manage 144 courtesy of some disciplined bowling from Noman, who picked up an eight-wicket-haul for just 46 runs.

With this win, Pakistan have levelled the 3-match series 1-1 with the third and final test to be played in Rawalpindi.

Pakistan were already in the ascendancy when England resumed on 36-2 needing an extraordinary batting effort to get anywhere near the target.


Vice captain Ollie Pope (22) fell in the second over of the day, giving off-spinner Sajid Khan a return catch before left-arm spinner Noman ran amok.

Noman dealt the tourists a body blow when he trapped Joe Root lbw for 18, a decision the batter reviewed but could not get overturned.

Harry Brook (16) fell to Noman in a similar fashion and England slumped to 88-6 when Jamie Smith was sent packing.

Stokes has played some match-defining knocks in his illustrious career and England badly needed a similar innings from him.

The captain, scoring at a run-a-ball rate, came dancing down the track against Noman and swung his bat only for it to fly out of his hands to midwicket.

Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan had all the time in the world to collect the ball and whip off the bail with Stokes well out of the crease.
