“Things happened quickly this week compared to last week,” England captain Ben Stokes said, referring to their victory in the opener in Rawalpindi.
“Going down to the wire again, (it’s a) good game to be a part of.”
“It was a tricky wicket for slower bowling. We were fortunate that with the cracks opening up our seamers became effective.”

Harry Brook was adjudged ‘Player of the Match’ for scoring the only hundred of the low-scoring match.
“To be honest, we were not up to the mark in the first innings,” Pakistan captain Babar Azam said after the defeat. “There were a couple of soft dismissals and…in the second innings we fought well but could not finish.”
England will conclude their first Test tour of Pakistan since 2005 with the third and final match beginning in Karachi on Saturday.
