Pakistan vs England: Mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed picks 10-wicket haul on debut

Pakistan’s newest sensation – mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed who achieved the feat of seven wickets in his debut innings in the second Test against England in Multan, has now claimed a 10-wicket haul in the match on Saturday.

Abrar once again dismissed the English top order on Day 2 and kept England’s scoring in check.

Abrar bowled Will Jacks for four runs in the seventh over and followed it up with Joe Root’s wicket in the 21st over. Abrar then removed a well-settled Ben Duckett for 79 in the 36th over and completed his 10-fer.

The English batters had decided to sweep against his turn and not keep blocking him, as Ben Duckett had said at the end of Day 1. But, Abrar continued to make inroads.

Interestingly, however, Abrar’s moment of brilliance came when he ran Zak Crawley out early in the innings making an underarm throw at the non-striker’s end.
