    WATCH: PCB and ECB officials shows the ‘Spirit of Cricket’ by exchanging jerseys during the Multan Test

    In a heartwarming display of sportsmanship and camaraderie, Jason Gillespie, the head coach of Pakistan’s Red-ball cricket team, and Salman Naseer, Chief Operating Officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), exchanged team jerseys with Richard Thompson, Chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and Richard Gould, CEO of the ECB. This memorable exchange took place before the start of Day 2 of the second Test match between Pakistan and England.

    Must-win match for Pakistan following first Test defeat

    As the match unfolded, Pakistan entered Day 2 with a commendable total of 259 runs for the loss of five wickets. This solid foundation was bolstered by a remarkable half-century from Saim Ayub and a spectacular century from Kamran Ghulam, who celebrated his Test debut with an unforgettable performance.

    However, as the early afternoon session progressed on Day 2, the Pakistani batting lineup faced mounting challenges and ultimately succumbed, all out for a total of 366 runs. Noman Ali, who had been looking promising, was the last batter dismissed, contributing a valuable 32 runs.

    This Test match is crucial for the Pakistan team, as they face the pressure of needing to secure a victory after suffering a heavy defeat in the first Test. The team’s lacklustre performance in the opening match drew significant criticism, especially given that they were competing on home soil. If Pakistan loses the second Test, they will forfeit the three-match series, heightening the stakes for this crucial encounter.
