PAK vs ENG: The 2nd Test between Pakistan and England is poised at an exciting stage at Lunch on Day 4, with both teams having more or less similar chances to win the match. Pakistan requires 64 more runs to win, while England needs just 3 more wickets with none of the recognized batters on the crease or remaining.
After Mohammad Nawaz looked threatening with his boundaries, Mark Wood struck with the important wicket as Nawaz walked after scoring 45 runs. Nawaz and Saud Shakeel etched a partnership of 80 runs for the 6th wicket.
Saud Shakeel on the other hand was taking the team towards the target carefully and strongly, scoring 94 runs. However, he was dismissed at the stroke of Lunch as Ollie Pope took a very close catch where the 3rd umpire's call could've gone either way. With Saud Shakeel dismissed, Pakistan have a tough task ahead with the English bowlers firing in with the new ball.
