The cricket world is enjoying another thrilling Test series. The Pakistani fans are enjoying a thrilling Test series between Pakistan and England. After facing a disappointing whitewash against Bangladesh, Pakistan bounced back in the Test match against England. But the Test is taking an exciting turn as the English batters are quickly adding runs. After watching that exceptional batting display, Ravichandran Ashwin made a significant comment about the final outcome of the Test match.
England’s Batting Masterclass:
After facing a disappointing defeat against Bangladesh by a 2-0 margin, Pakistan tried to bounce back. They are facing England in a three-match Test series. As the first Test series is going in Multan, Pakistan gave a huge boost to the innings. While batting in the first innings, Pakistan post a huge total of 556 runs.
But the match is taking interesting turns, as the England batters are putting in exceptional effort. On the flat pitch of the Multan, the English side is showcasing their ‘bazball’ side. After Ollie Poope’s dismissal on a duck, Zak Crawley and Joe Root took the inning to a different level. Crawly played a knock of 78 runs in 85 balls.
Joe Root is still playing the killer knock. The ace English batter scored his 35th Test hundred and still unbeaten on 132 runs. Ben Duckett played a fiery innings of 84 runs in 75 balls. On the third day of the Test match, England already stood on 382 runs while losing only 3 wickets.

Ashwin’s Take on the Test Match:
As an intense battle is going on the Multan pitch, the future of the Test match is still uncertain. There are only two days left for the only Test match and England still has seven wickets in hand o end their first innings. Initially, veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin thought the Test might see a draw at the end but commented something else after watching the ongoing game of the third day.
As the game is going on the third day of the first Test, Ravichandran Ashwin thinks, the result is possible if the 3rd innings turns out to be a poor one. The ace spinner said, “Now the only way this test will see a winner is if the 3rd batting innings is a poor one.”
The interesting Test match is standing on a very unpredictable stage. The flat pitch is helping out the batters and the Pakistan bowlers are in trouble. They still need to pick up seven wickets to end England’s first innings. Pakistan’s second batting innings will be crucial for the game’s result.
