England’s Ben Duckett nailed a century, but Sajid Khan pulled off a miraculous spin show to trigger an England collapse! What a twist in the 2nd Test!

In the thrilling backdrop of the second Test match between Pakistan and England, the spotlight shone brightly on Ben Duckett, whose blistering century had fans buzzing. The England opener scored a phenomenal 114 runs, bringing some noise to an otherwise tense game. However, just when it seemed like the tides had shifted in favor of the visitors, enter Sajid Khan—the off-spinner who decided it was high time to steal the show. With the match evenly poised and all eyes on Duckett, Sajid unleashed a spin attack that would leave even the finest Maharaja of Magic, Ravi Shastri, jumping out of his seat!

As the sun dipped on day two, it was a tale of two halves. While Duckett's centurion prowess initially had everyone dreaming sweet dreams of victory, Sajid’s figure—4 wickets for a mere 14 runs—disrupted those dreams faster than a curry gone bad. His bowling wizardry sent shocks through the English batting order, claiming three wickets in just ten deliveries. He particularly savored the moment of nabbing Duckett, turning a promising innings into an England implosion. Talk about a mood swing, right?

While the English side struggled to keep their brief lead of 239-6 intact, Sajid Khan's magical moment left Pakistan not only breathing again but gasping for more! By the end of day two, the scorecard read 366 all out in Pakistan's first innings, with the lead slowly creeping upward. Sajid's impact on the game proved monumental, allowing his team to regain momentum when it was most critical. His touchdown on Joe Root—how sweet is that for any bowler—is something he will recount to his grandchildren with a grin!

With the match rejuvenated and the stakes even higher, Sajid Khan has become a national hero in the making. He’s not just another name in the squad; he’s the breakout star of the series. Did you know that this is his first Test after a brief hiatus? His resurgence was as unexpected as finding a durian in a local fruit market during non-season! As we head into the next day of play, the cricket world eagerly anticipates what twists and turns this riveting match may hold, with Khan back on the scene, taking both England and Duckett’s dreams along for the ride!
