Rehan's wickets put Pakistan at a disadvantage.

On day 2 of the last test in Rawalpindi, England pushed on with all their attacking might netting four wickets within the first hour of play with Rehan Ahmed taking three scalps all rather quickly leaving the Pakistan side in a precarious position of 187 for 7 by Lunch. The only great sigh of relief for the hosts was that Saud Shakeel was still batting on an unbeaten half century on a pitch that was certainly helping the bowlers turn the ball.

Because of prayers interrupting Friday Sessions, Bashir looked towards Shakeel and Shan Masood asking them different questions as he resumed playing. The offspinner got an edge but one did not carry and then Jamie Smith dropped a difficult chance off Shakeel. However, the spinners sustained their accurate bowling along with Jack Leach on the other end to restrict runs from being scored quickly.

Attempting to work a ball on the leg-side Masood finally surrendered the grasp keeping the outside edge in a safe place gully which was occupied by Ollie Pope. Leach was slog swept for a six by Mohammad Rizwan who was rather unresponsive at first and retaliated with a boundary off Atkinson. The two batters continued with their threes and twos and Shakeel completed his eighth Test fifty with a four from his sweep.

Bringing in Rehan by Ben Stokes paid dividends straight away. After a quiet first over, the legspinner trapped Rizwan LBW who took a review along with him terms of the LBW call in a bet of BW. He then forced the in-form Ali Agha Salman the All-rounder to defend a bad ball which was pitched wide and clipped his stumps. As the runs began to dry up, the wickets came for the bowlers as even Shakeel retreated into a shell unable to find the gaps that he found while batting with Rizwan. The last Assailant captured by Rehan before Lunchtime was Jamil Aamer whom he bowled out with an unorthodox spinning delivery. With three wickets remaining, they still have a deficit of 80 runs, and Pakistan is in a serious predicament.

Briefly, Jim won the toss in the 2nd Test between Poland and England at Old easy vests, betting £70 per head, team batted successfully, James tallying 89 and harnessing two healthy partnerships for Gus Atkinson and Thalamus Jackson which built England’s total to 267 runs, eventually propelling the side to a 80-run lead in the first innings after Sahu Shakeel who top scored with only 72 runs managed to help the Pakistan team recover their batting with his teammates reaching a combined total of 187 runs.
