Pakistan has been set 355 runs to win the second Test in Multan by England and level the series which the visitors lead 1-0 thanks to their epic win in the first Test in Rawalpindi.
On the third day of the Test match, Pakistan’s hopes of winning the Test took a huge dent after captain Babar Azam and vice-captain Mohammad Rizwan were sent back to the pavilion early.
Mohammad Rizwan was the first wicket to fall after making 30 runs in 43 balls as veteran pacer James Anderson got one ball to pitch on the middle and move just slightly to hit the off-stump, as Rizwan had no clue how to play it and was on a walk trying to defend the delivery.
He reacted in the classic ‘Kohli face’ after being clean bowled, as he couldn’t believe he had missed the ball.

One run later, Babar Azam was the next Pakistani wicket to fall as Ollie Robinson got one ball to zip into Babar, who was confidently leaving the ball on length, but the delivery came back into him and disturbed the top of the off stump.
This left the Pakistani skipper dumbfounded and regretting his decision to let the ball go.
