In a bizarre rarity, the England and Pakistan cricketers may continue using the first test pitch for the second match in Multan starting tomorrow

14 October 2024

The same venue is seldom used consecutively in a series, let alone the same surface.

The host board is considering the move after losing the opening run-fest by an innings and 47 runs across 353.3 overs.

The pursuit of victory will be without former captain Babar Azam .

He's been dropped after failing to pass 41 in his last 18 test innings, dating back to the match against the Black Caps at Rawalpindi in December 2022.
