The team of Ben Stokes and Harry Brook didn't last for long.

MULTAN (Dunya News) - England started Day 3 from where they left the Day 2, with Harry Brook completing his second Test century in the first session. However, the team of Ben Stokes and Harry Brook didn t last for long.

As soon as Stokes was dismissed, the players kept losing wickets and were eventually bowled out for 275. Earlier, England were in command of the second Test against Pakistan in Multan on Saturday, leading by 281 at stumps on day two as they witnessed a series-clinching win.

Pakistan needs 265 runs to win with 7 wickets remaining

Spinner Abrar Ahmed took 11 wickets for 234 across the two innings — the second best by a bowler on debut for Pakistan, behind Mohammad Zahid’s 11-130 against New Zealand in Rawalpindi 26 years ago.

The foreigners were 202-5 in their second innings on a turning pitch which has seen 25 wickets fall in two days with the solid Harry Brook 74 not out, accompanied by skipper Ben Stokes on 16.

Earlier on day 2, Ben Duckett and Harry Brook hit fifties as England extended their lead over Pakistan to 281 at Stumps on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test.
