Sajid Khan goes ultra-aggressive as he castles Ollie Pope with a peach in Multan

Pakistan National Cricket Team spinner Sajid Khan has been having a great time with the ball in the ongoing second Test against the England National Cricket Team. The match between the teams is taking place at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.

After the Pakistan National Cricket Team got all out for 366 runs, they put the England National Cricket Team under pressure with the ball. The hosts have picked wickets at regular intervals of time and have ensured that they have the upper hand in the ongoing second game.

Sajid Khan has played a massive role for his team and has spun the web around England

One of the key architects behind that has been Sajid Khan. The off-spinner has played a massive role for his team and has spun the web around the England National Cricket Team batters, making sure he picks wickets at the crucial juncture of the game for his side.

Sajid Khan has chipped in for his team with vital blows and among them was the wicket of Ollie Pope. The off-spinner produced a peach of delivery to send the batter packing who had a valuable start with the bat for his Team with the bat in Multan.

Sajid Khan bowled a full delivery outside off to which Ollie Pope leaned forward to drive through the covers. The ball spun sharply and went through the gate to hit the off-stump. He was all pumped up after he got his team as he got his revenge for getting hit for runs.

Not only Ollie Pope, but Sajid Khan also went on to remove Joe Root (34), Harry Brook (9), and Ben Duckett (114). He returned with the figures of 4/86 at stumps on Day 2 as England National Cricket Team ended the day at 239/6 and are 127 runs behind.

Credit to them, they made us work extremely hard for our wickets – Ben Duckett after his ton

Ben Duckett talked about his innings and said that batting against spin is his strength and he wanted to put bowlers under pressure. He also credited Pakistan bowlers, saying that they made them work hard. Speaking after the day, he explained:

“Batting against spin, I like to think it’s a strength of mine. Batting against the new ball here can be a fraction easier at times. Back opening with Zak was nice. (On his sweep shots) It’s a strength I like to go to. When you first walk out to bat, there’s a lot of men around the bat, my theory is to try and get rid of them and look to put the bowler under pressure as well.

“I didn’t hit all of them, but tried to get the field out and tried to make life easier for myself. (On the surface) It felt like it was spinning. We actually thought that it might be tougher against the new ball but the softer the ball got, it got a fraction harder. There wasn’t really a game plan that we had. Credit to them, they made us work extremely hard for our wickets.”
