As the hosts attempted to dry the surface in order to duplicate last week’s spin-led victory, the pitch for Tuesday’s series-deciding Test match between Pakistan and England in Rawalpindi was being closely examined.
Pakistan’s risk of playing on the same field for the second consecutive match paid off in Multan, as they won by 152 runs on Friday to tie the series.
Left-arm spinner Noman Ali and right-armer Sajid Khan helped Pakistan take all 20 of England’s wickets as England collapsed to 144 all out while attempting to reach a difficult 297-run mark.
On Thursday, the third and final game will start.
In an attempt to win their first series since defeating South Africa in 2021, Pakistan was using patio heaters, industrial-sized fans, and windbreaks to dry out the strip after their success in Multan.
