Sajid Khan, Nauman Ali True Heroes Of 3rd Test Alongside Saud Shakeel | Here's Why

Pakistan were heavily struggling on Day 2, as they were reduced to 177/7, and were on the verge of bundling out for less than 230/240. However, Saud Shakeel, Sajid Khan, and Nauman Ali had other plans, as the Pakistan vice-captain scored an iconic 134 to take the game away from visitors.

But what sealed the match in Pakistan's favour was vital contributions from Nauman Ali and Sajid Khan, as the duo scored 45 and 48 respectively, but the manner in which they scored, and also at the time they scored, proved to deal England a huge dent in their momentum, and they seemed to have never recovered ever since, as the impact was reflected in their batting, that looked clueless against the brilliance of the Pakistan duo.

The match is all but over for England, and all Pakistan need to do is to bowl England out within the morning session of Day 3 to capitalise on the momentum set by the trio of Saud Shakeel, Sajid Khan, and Nauman Ali.
