Following England’s commanding victory over Pakistan in the opening Test of the three-match series, they now hold a 1-0 lead. The second Test will take place at the same venue, the Multan Cricket Stadium, where another high-scoring encounter is anticipated, like the first game.
England’s dominant performance, capped by an innings and 47 runs win, highlights their exceptional form in red-ball cricket. In contrast, Pakistan’s inconsistency in the longest format remains a concern, and this heavy defeat has further exposed the weaknesses in their game.

With little to no movement on offer, batters can look forward to playing on a flat surface throughout the game.
