Pakistan vs England Multan Test: When the Pakistan cricket team scored 556 runs while batting first against England, their bowlers would not have even thought that their demise was going to come after some time. When the English team came out to bat and England's first wicket fell early, there was an atmosphere of joy in the Pakistani team. But this happiness was a short-lived guest. This happiness evaporated as soon as Joe Root took charge. Harry Brook, who came after this, destroyed everything. This is the first time in the history of Test cricket, when six bowlers of Pakistan have given more than 100 runs in a single innings.
This happened only twice in Test cricket, when 6 bowlers spent more than 100 runs.
This has happened only twice in the nearly 150-year history of Test cricket, when six bowlers of a team have conceded more than 100 runs. It happened for the first time in the year 2004, when the match was played between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The Sri Lankan batsmen thrashed them so much that 6 bowlers of the team gave away more than 100 runs. Now this has happened in this match i.e. Pakistan vs England match. During the entire innings, Pakistan fielded 7 bowlers, out of which 100 was widely reported. Saud Shakeel bowled only two overs so he was saved, otherwise his condition could have worsened. In a way, this ground of Multan seems like a graveyard for bowlers. This can be said especially for Pakistani bowlers.
English batsmen took the news of Shaheen and Naseem seriously
Now let us also tell you who are those bowlers of Pakistan who have spent more than 100 runs in their spell. Let us first talk about Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is considered to be the greatest bowler of Pakistan at present. Shaheen gave 120 runs in total 26 overs of bowling in the first innings. He got only one success. Naseem Shah gave 157 runs in 31 overs bowling. He has got two wickets. After this, if we look at Abrar Ahmed, he bowled 35 overs and during this he spent the maximum of 174 runs.
England declared their innings after scoring 823 runs for seven wickets.
Aamer Jamal bowled a total of 24 overs and gave 126 runs in the first innings of the match. If we look at the figures of Agha Salman, he gave 118 runs in 18 overs. Sam Ayub also bowled 14 overs and gave away 101 runs. However, it was a matter of relief that he took two wickets in his name. It was a good thing that England declared their innings at seven wickets after scoring 823 runs. If the team had played more, these figures could have been worse. No one would have thought that this would be Pakistan's fate at home. Now it will be interesting to see whether the Pakistani team can save this match.
