Pakistan tail hangs on to reach 358-8 against England on 2nd day of 2nd cricket test
MULTAN, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan's long batting tail hung in against England’s pace and spin to reach 358-8 at lunch on Day 2 of the second cricket test on Wednesday.
The tailenders batted around all-rounder Aamer Jamal's unbeaten 37 to frustrate England on a reused dry wicket where Pakistan lost the first test by an innings and 47 runs.
No. 10 batter Noman Ali, batting on 29, played confidently against the spinners, sweeping Jack Leach (3-114) for a couple of boundaries and then smashed fast bowler Brydon Carse (2-43) for two more fours in the penultimate over before the lunch break.
Pakistan lost the overnight pair of Mohammad Rizwan (41) and Salman Ali Agha (31) before Jamal chipped away by adding 49 runs with Ali.
