New Delhi. Pakistan was proud by scoring 556 runs in the Multan test match. After all, for the first time after facing a humiliating defeat against Bangladesh, it felt the fragrance of victory. But England ruined all the happiness of Pakistan by scoring 396 runs in a single day. Now the situation in Multan Test is such that Pakistan can lose even after scoring more than 550 runs. So far 5 centuries have been scored in this match. Three centuries have been scored by Pakistani batsmen and two by England.
The first test match of the 3-match series is being played between Pakistan and England in Multan. Pakistan scored 556 runs in this match. From his side, captain Shan Masood, Abdullah Shafiq and Salman Agha scored centuries. This score can be called good on any ground, but England, playing 'baseball', is bent upon proving it to be a dwarf.

In reply to Pakistan's 556 runs, England scored 492 runs for three wickets. He has scored these runs in just 101 overs. That means England's run rate is close to 5, which is considered best in terms of Test cricket. Both the batsmen currently at the crease have scored centuries. Joe Root is playing with 176 runs and Harry Brook is playing with 141 runs. In such a situation, if England bats in its own style even for one session, then Pakistan may come under pressure.
England beat Pakistan like this for the second time
England scored 396 runs on the third day. This is only the third time that a team has scored more than 390 runs in a day in Pakistan. England is at number one, when it scored 506 runs in a single day in 2022. Sri Lanka has also scored 406 runs in one day against Pakistan in 2009.
England can score 700 runs
On Thursday, the fourth day of the match, all eyes will be on England's batsmen. England will try to bat for at least two sessions. If England is successful in this strategy then it will take its score beyond 700. This would mean that Pakistan can then just try to save the match. Even the thought of victory will not come to his mind.
