Second Test Highlights Pakistan VS. England, Multan

Kamran Ghulam became the ninth Pakistan player to register a century in his debut innings. Of these, all but one (Umar Akmal vs. New Zealand in 2009-10) were scored in Pakistan.
England's first innings saw their fourth-worst collapse (from two wickets down) in Pakistan as they lost their last eight wickets for 80 runs. Their worst is 43 at Lahore in 2005-06.
Sajid Khan's 7 for 111 was the best bowling performance at Multan's Cricket Stadium surpassing Abrar Ahmed's 7 for 114 against England in 2022-23 until overtaken in the second innings.
Sajid became the first bowler to dismiss four (or more) players bowled in an innings at Multan. This is the twelfth instance in Pakistan, the last occasion being by Hasan Ali for Pakistan against South Africa at Rawalpindi in 2020-21.
Noman Ali's second innings 8 for 46 is now the best analysis at Multan. It is also Pakistan's fifth best in Tests with Abdul Qadir's 9 for 56 against England at Lahore in 1987-88 topping the list. Sajid Khan's 8 for 42 against Bangladesh at Mirpur in 2021-22 is the fourth best.
Noman Ali's analysis is the second best in Pakistan behind only Abdul Qadir's analysis above.
Noman became the fourth-oldest bowler to take eight or more wickets in an innings, the only older players being Syd Barnes (England) on three occasions, the oldest being 40 years 251 days; Australia's Frank Laver (39 years 231 days) and Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath (38 years 235 days).
Noman's match analysis of 11 for 147 is the second best at Multan's Cricket Stadium behind only Danish Kaneria's 12 for 94 for Pakistan against Bangladesh in 2001-02.
Sajid Khan's match analysis of 9 for 204 is the fourth best at Multan.
The sixteen wickets lost on the third day is the joint-second highest in a Test in Pakistan. The record stands at 18, also at Multan, between Pakistan and Bangladesh in 2003 whilst 16 were also lost in the Pakistan and West Indies Test at Karachi in 1997-98.
For the seventh time in all Tests, all twenty opposition wickets fell to just two bowlers. The last occasion was at Lord's in 1972 when Australian bowlers Bob Massie (16), on debut, and Dennis Lillee (4) dismissed England twice. The last time by two slow bowlers was at Manchester in 1956 when England's Jim Laker (19) and Tony Lock (1) dismissed Australia twice.
Pakistan's victory ended a run of six successive defeats, their third such occasion.
Pakistan also ended what could have been their record number of consecutive matches in Pakistan without a win. This win ends a run of eleven matches without a win, the same as a patch which started after a win in April 1965 and which ended in March 1975 (during which ten of the eleven Tests were drawn).
For their third occasion - but the first time by slow bowlers - Pakistan dismissed a side using only two bowlers. The other occasions were at Kandy against Sri Lanka in 1994-95 and at Karachi against Australia in 1956-57.
For the sixteenth occasion - and third time by Pakistan - all twenty opposition wickets fell to their slow bowlers. The last occasion by any team was for Sri Lanka against West Indies at Galle in 2021-22 and Pakistan's last occasion was against England at Lahore in 1987-88.
Ben Duckett became the first player to twice record a century and a duck in the same Test in Pakistan. He did the same at Rawalpindi in 2022-23.
The last occasion that an England side contained no more than one individual fifty or fewer (and lost all 20 wickets) in a Test in Pakistan was at Lahore in 1987-88. Outside of England, the same has happened seventeen times during this century and seven times during this current decade.
Jamie Smith became the fourth England wicket-keeper to make five wicket-keeping dismissals in a Test in Pakistan joining Ollie Pope (twice), Geraint Jones (also twice) and John Murray.
For the first time, and in his fifth Test in Pakistan, Harry Brook did not score a century in the country.
