Eng Vs Pak: Sajid Khan Turns Table For Pakistan After Duckett's Century On Day 2
The day began with England chasing Pakistan's first-innings score of 366, a total built on key contributions from Agha Salman and a valuable ninth-wicket stand between Aamer Jamal and Noman Ali. England’s bowlers had fought hard to restrict Pakistan, with Brydon Carse and Jack Leach taking crucial wickets, but it was clear that the surface was starting to offer more for the spinners as the day wore on.
England’s reply got off to a flying start, with Duckett and Zak Crawley racing to 73 without loss in just 12 overs. Duckett was at his aggressive best, utilising a range of sweeps to torment Pakistan’s spinners, eventually bringing up his fourth Test century. His innings was a masterclass in controlled aggression, and he became the fastest player to reach 2000 Test runs in terms of balls faced.
