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.

Watch the dismissal:

Earlier, England had won the toss and opted to bat in the second Test of the series, but were bowled out on 281 on the opening day in Multan. Debutant Abrar Ahmed enjoyed a stellar outing for Pakistan as he picked seven English wickets in the first innings. The visitors took a 79-run lead after bowling Pakistan out on 202, and Harry Brook smashed a brilliant century to take England to 275 in the second innings.

Abrar was pick of the bowlers for Pakistan again in the second innings, taking four wickets to finish with record debut figures for Pakistan (11/234).

England are leading the three-match series 1-0, having registered a brilliant 74-run victory against Pakistan in the opening game in Rawalpindi. The Ben Stokes-led English team also created the world record for most runs on Day 1 of a Test when it finished with 506/4 in 75 overs in the Rawalpindi Test.
