England toured Pakistan for a Test series after a gap of 17 long years, and the two games played so far have been fantastic. After a heartbreaking defeat in the first Test, the Pakistan team were eyeing a comeback in Multan and they received tremendous support from the fans throughout the course of the match. However, despite their best efforts, Babar Azam and company couldn’t manage to get the win and eventually lost the Test series with a game to spare.

During the second Test against England at the Multan Cricket Stadium, something interesting happened as a Jasprit Bumrah's look-alike kid was spotted cheering for the hosts. As soon as he realized he was on the camera, he started dancing in ecstasy and soon enough, the netizens pointed out similarities between him and the Indian speedster.

This is for the second time that someone looking like Jasprit Bumrah has been spotted in Pakistan. A similar incident happened at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore during a match of the Independence Cup back in 2017. 

Mark Wood ruptures Pakistan’s batting order to make a late comeback

Just when it seemed really difficult for England to make a comeback in the final innings, English bowlers stepped up and helped their side register an iconic win for the Three Lions. Chasing a target of 355 runs, Saud Shakeel and Imam-Ul-Haq put up fine performances to keep Pakistan in the race. 27-year-old Shakeel was dismissed by Wood while batting on 94 and that’s when a collapse was sensed.

Meanwhile, Imam was dismissed at 60 by off-spinner Jack Leach. Mohammad Nawaz, with his gritty 45, tried to keep Pakistan in the game but Wood with his blistering pace was just too much to handle for Pakistan batters. The speedster picked up four wickets in the end to hand Pakistan a 26-run defeat in Multan. Ben Stokes was delighted with his team’s performance and credited his bowlers for a sensational performance throughout the course of the match.
