When Ben Stokes' England take field in the 2nd Test vs Babar Azam's Pakistan, they will set their eyes on the trophy. It will be a historic win if England indeed go on to beat Pakistan in the second Test. England have never won a Test series on Pakistani soil. In fact, before the Rawalpindi win, they had won only 2 Tests, in 1971 and 2000 respectively. The second Test in Multan provides them the first attempt to make the historic win happen. England lead 1-0 in the 3-match series, so even if they lose the Multan Test, they will have an opportunity to still win the third and clinch the series.
For Babar Azam and Co, the task to beat England even in their home conditions has become tougher with a depleted bowling attack. In absence of their pace ace Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan gave chance to Haris Rauf, who had been excellent in the white-ball formats for the Men In Green. Rauf however had injured himself as well during the 1st Test and has been ruled out of the Test series.
Pakistan need to pick 20 wickets to win the series and they need to find a way to do this. Otherwise, this strong England outfit, playing with an aggressive mindset, could run all over the hosts again in Multan.
Who still feels like this today? _
