Pakistan victorious after England scoreboard falls at just 72

     England needed just 145 runs for victory over Pakistan on the 2nd test, but with one of the most disappointing performance from England, the match was lost. All of the wickets of English team crumbled at the score of just 72. Pakistani spinners did an excellent job to demolish the English batting lineup. Three of the English batsman were duck out while five of the batsman didn't even reach double figures. The highest runs from Team England was contributed by Strauss which was 32. Rehman, from Pakistani team was exceptional as he took 6 wickets of English team.
