England’s middle order crumbled under pressure, leaving them at 239-6 by the end of Day 2 in the second Test match. Pakistan’s spinner Sajid Khan was the star of the day, claiming four vital wickets while giving away just 14 runs, effectively breaking through England’s batting lineup.
England’s middle-order batsmen struggled to establish themselves, and despite some resistance from Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse, who managed to add 14 unbeaten runs, the team is now facing considerable pressure as they head into the next day of the match.
Pakistan’s bowlers dominated the game, with Sajid Khan leading the charge. However, it wasn’t just Sajid; Pakistan’s Noman Ali and Aamer Jamal also played pivotal roles earlier in the game, contributing with crucial runs to help their side post a competitive score.
As the game heads into Day 3, all eyes will be on how England’s lower order handles the intense pressure from Pakistan’s bowling attack, and whether they can recover from the middle-order collapse.
