Sajid Khan's break Mushtaq Ahmed's 24-year Test record

The spinner took five wickets in the first innings, dismissing three English batsmen in just ten balls on day two.

Pakistan's spinner Sajid Khan made history by claiming seven wickets in the ongoing second Test match against England at Multan Cricket Stadium, breaking a 24-year-old record previously held by legendary spinner Mushtaq Ahmed.

In a standout performance, Sajjid took five wickets in the first innings, showcasing exceptional skill, particularly during a remarkable spell where he dismissed three English batsmen in just ten balls during the closing session of play on the second day.

His efforts marked him as the first Pakistani spinner to achieve such a feat on home soil since Mushtaq's record in 2000.

After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Pakistan posted a solid total of 366 runs. Debutant Kamran Ghulam was a highlight of the innings, scoring a commendable 118 runs, supported by Saim Ayub, who contributed 77 runs.

In response, England struggled to adapt to the conditions, being dismissed for 291 runs in their first innings within the opening hour of the third day.

Sajid Khan led the charge with a stunning seven-wicket haul, while fellow spinner Noman Ali supported him with three wickets, illustrating the effectiveness of Pakistan's spin attack.

Ben Duckett emerged as the standout performer for England, scoring 114 runs, but his efforts were insufficient to surpass Pakistan's total.

With a lead of 75 runs, the home side is now positioned to aim for a substantial second innings total, seeking to level the series.

Sajjid's achievement not only adds to his personal accolades but also highlights the resurgence of spin bowling in Pakistan, echoing the great performances of his predecessors.
