by Pakistan spinner Noman Ali as they crashed to a 152-run defeat in Multan, with Ben Stokes’ slapstick dismissal summing up their struggles.

It was a grimly humorous moment, Mohammad Rizwan whipping off the bails as Stokes turned to see his GM blade disappearing towards square leg, and capped a chastening conclusion as the hosts levelled the series 1-1.Historic 317 in the first Test, but unable to score even 30 across his two innings this week. The first Test in Pakistan he’s not scored a hundred in.Drop of Salman Agha on day three proved costly and keeping way tougher on used track. Scored 21 and six. Tough Test.
