'Sans to lene de be...' - Twitter hails Abrar Ahmed and Zahid Mahmood as the duo bundles up England in the second session of the first day

Pakistan is locking horns with England in the second of the three-match Test series. Both teams are playing this match at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan. The English skipper Ben Stokes decided to bat first after winning the flip of the coin. Although, this decision of Stokes has been proven wrong by the young Pakistan leg spinner and debutant Abrar Ahmed and his state mate Zahid Mahmood.

Advertisment

Both the spinners have scalped all the ten wickets of England including seven scalps by Abrar followed by the three wickets claimed by Zahid.

The cricket fans are hailing the performance of the Pakistan team as they have bundled up the visitors only in the second session on the first day of the Multan Test. They took to Twitter to heap their praises on the Zahid-Abrar duo for brilliant bowling heroics.

Here’s how fans reacted:

How are we feeling at lunch time on day one?

Other than Duckett, wicketkeeper-batter Ollie Pope also scored 60 runs off 61 balls with five boundaries.

Lower order batter and pacer Mark Wood also contributed with 36 runs alongside 30 and 31 runs from skipper Ben Stokes and number seven batter Will Jacks respectively.
