Pakistan is playing against England in the third and final Test of the three-match series at the Multan Cricket Ground. This match is a series decider currently standing at 1-1. 

Ben Stokes, the English skipper, won the toss ahead of the game and opted to bat first. However, the decision backfired for the visitors as the Pakistan spinners reigned supreme during the day's play.

England Collapsed After A Steady Start

England got a good start to their innings, and Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett stitched together a partnership of 56 runs for the first wicket. However, with Crawley's wicket, a collapse triggered in their innings. The visitors have lost five wickets since then while adding only 62 runs. 

The latest wicket to fall in the English innings was that of the skipper Ben Stokes. Sajid Khan did the honours for the home team as he exposed the southpaw's technique against spin.

Ben Stokes gets exposed by Sajid Khan

On the first delivery of the 33rd over, Khan bowled a flighted delivery around the fifth stump line. This invited Stokes to play an expansive drive, and he walked right into the trap. As Stokes tried to drive the ball, he got a leading edge that travelled fast to Salman Ali Agha at slip. Salman Agha was aware of the situation and timed his dive to perfection to take the catch and draw curtains on Stokes' knock.
