England captain Ben Stokes was left scratching his head after a Pakistani journalist struggled to frame a question around the visitors' 823-run total from the first Test in Multan.

The incident happened on the eve of the third and decisive Test in Rawalpindi. The journalist made a hilarious attempt to frame a question in English, leaving Stokes completely bemused.

He wanted to ask Stokes whether or not England can replicate their 823-run total from the 1st Test in the series decider at Rawalpindi.

After a couple of failed attempts, the journalist finally managed to a get a response from Stokes, who did his best to communicate with the man despite the language barrier. "That would be nice," Stokes responded after the journalist asked him if England can replicate their mammoth total on a batting-friendly track at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
