Pakistan are chasing a 355-run target to level the three-match series against England in the second Test in Multan. The side bowled England out on 275 in the second innings and had an impressive start to the run-chase, with Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan adding 66 runs for the first wicket. However, Rizwan was done in with an incredible delivery from James Anderson, and captain Babar Azam, too, departed in quick succession.
The Pakistan fans had pinned their hopes on Babar to play a key role in the run-chase but the side's skipper was dismissed thanks to brilliant seam movement from Ollie Robinson, who dismissed him twice in the match. It was a fatal leave from Babar, who seemed to have failed to take into account the movement off the surface; the ball took a sharp inward movement, leaving Babar shocked as it hit the stumps.
