Having been subject to an innings and 47-run defeat🧸 in the first Test of the series, Pakistan forced a decider thanks to Sajid Khan (2-93) and Noman Ali (8-46).
✤England resumed on day four at 36-2 needing 297 runs to win, but Ollie Pope was only able to add one to his total (22) before being caught and bowled off Khan's second ball of the day.
🍬Three more wickets fell over the next 40 minutes – Joe Root (18) and Harry Brook (16) were both trapped lbw by Noman, who also took Jamie Smith (6) shortly after.
🔯Though Ben Stokes' 37 looked to provide some brief respite for England, alongside Brydon Carse's knock of 27 as they crept over the 100-mark, the tourists could not maintain any momentum.
𝄹Noman took the final seven wickets of the day and made sure things were wrapped up by lunch, dismissing Shoaib Bashir for a duck immediately after taking Jack Leach for a single run.
Data Debrief: The wait is over for Pakistan
🍎Pakistan have salvaged some pride following their heavy defeat in the first Test, but they have also ended their terrible run on home soil.
🌜Shan Masood finally has his first win since taking over as captain and, along with it, put a halt to their six-match losing streak in Pakistan.
It is all down to Noman and Khan, who combined for all 20 wickets💎, becoming the first pair to achieve such a feat in a Test since Dennis Lillee and Bob Massie in 1972.
