It was a stunning first Test between Pakistan and England. The visitors claimed a historic win in the last session of the game. All eyes would now be on the second encounter from December 9th. The match will happen at Multan. Here, we look at the pitch report of Multan Cricket Stadium and the weather conditions in Multan for PAK vs ENG 2022.
Pakistan will be desperate to win the game at Multan. Although they had a decent batting display in the first innings, they could not repeat it in the second inning. The bowlers need to be more penetrative or defensive, at least, the counter the aggressive approach by Ben Stokes and co.
Babar Azam will be keen to win at home against England. A few months ago, they did not do well against Australia. They would want to avoid a second series defeat to a strong team at home.

The pitch was the major point of discussion in the first game. The narrative will be active for the second game, too. Multan has not hosted a Test since 2006 and hence, it will be interesting to see how the pitch behaves.
The average score batting first in Multan is 344. However, on many occasions, we have seen top scores being made at this venue. Virender Sehwag, in 2004, hit a triple-hundred in Multan. This still happens to be the best batting display on this track.
