An early morning collapse from Pakistan was the defining feature of a day where England took control of the second Test and the series.
England finished day two on 202 for 5 and with a lead of 281 thanks to half-centuries from Ben Duckett and Harry Brook. It was a scenario of Pakistan’s own doing as a feeble display with the bat saw them lose their final eight wickets for 60 runs and concede a significant first innings deficit of 79. For the home side, their sole shining light of the day was once again debutant Abrar Ahmed who completed his ten-wicket haul for the match.
