He was even hit on the face when he top-edged one that hit his chin off the bowling of Rehan Ahmed.

The Pakistan vs England three-match Test series is perfectly poised at 1-1 after two matches at the Multan Cricket Stadium. The visitors won the first game by an innings and 47 runs, but Shan Masood-led Pakistan bounced back with a 152-run victory in the second game. What worked in favour of Pakistan in the second game was the fact that the pitch assisted their spinners in a great manner. Right-arm off break bowler Sajid Khan and left-arm orthodox Noman Ali accounted for all the 20 England wickets that fell in the game. As a result, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is keen to prepare another turning track for the third and deciding game of the series that is set to take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.
