Finally, Pakistan's wait is over. After 1348 days Pakistan won a test match at home. In the second test match played in Multan, Pakistan defeated England by 152 runs. In the second innings, England's strong batting could only score 144 runs and as a result, Pakistan won the test in Multan and leveled the series 1-1. Well, during this defeat of England, its captain Ben Stokes got out in a very strange manner. Stokes scored the highest 37 runs in the second innings but he was stumped out on the ball of Nauman Ali. During this, Ben Stokes also lost his bat.
Ben Stokes tried to hit a long six off left-arm spinner Nauman Ali's ball. But the ball turned a lot after hitting it. During this, when Stokes swung the bat, it slipped from his hand. The bat fell far away in the field and wicket keeper Rizwan stumped him out. The bat that slipped from Ben Stokes' hand could have hit any Pakistani fielder. Especially the player standing at short leg was in danger. Thankfully, Stokes' bat did not hit any player's head.
The bat goes flying and Rizwan does the rest behind the stumps 🎯
