England 239 for 6 (Duckett 114, Root 34) trail Pakistan 366 (Ghulam 118, Ayub 77, Leach 4-114) by 127 runs Slowly, slowly … and then with the snap of resolve that vindicated every one of their seemingly half-baked plans, Pakistan roared into command in the second Test at Multan, transforming another day of dominant England batting with a trademark surge of wickets, the likes of which had eluded them throughout their dismal run of six Test losses in a row.
