Noman got excellent support from Sajid

Noman Ali also got excellent support from Sajid Khan from the other end, who took 2 wickets for 93 runs in the second innings. Sajid Khan took 7 wickets for 111 runs in the first innings. In this way, he also took a total of 9 wickets in the second test played in Multan.

Such a day was seen in Test cricket after 30 years

Pakistan captain Shan Masood did not make any changes in his bowling in the second innings. He kept Noman from one end and Sajid from the other end. This happened after 30 years in Test cricket when the same pair of Pakistani bowlers bowled the entire innings. The last time this was seen was in 1994 against Sri Lanka in Kandy, where Akram and Waqar were bowling in the same innings.
