Pakistan Debutant Kamran Ghulam Hits Ton To Defy England In Second Test

Kamran Ghulam hit a superb century on his debut to guide Pakistan to 259-5 on the opening day of the second Test against England in Multan on Tuesday. The 29-year-old replaced out-of-form Babar Azam at number four and foiled England's aggressive bowling and fielding to score 118. At close of an even day's play, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha were unbeaten with 37 and five respectively. The day ended Ghulam's frustrating long wait for a place in the Pakistan team after he smashed a national record 1,249 runs in the 2020 domestic season. Ghulam led a fightback after the hosts, who won the toss, were struggling at 19-2 with England spinner Jack Leach striking twice in the first hour.
