Pakistan Resists England's Charge, Trails by 115 Runs on Day 5

Pakistan vs England 1st Test Day 5: Pakistan Fights Back, Trails by 115 Runs

Pakistan resumed Day 5 of the ongoing first Test against England from a precarious position of 152/6 in Multan, trailing by 115 runs. The visitors, buoyed by Harry Brook's sensational triple century and Joe Root's 262, were eager to wrap up the innings and secure victory by an innings.

However, Pakistan's lower order showed resilience, with Agha Salman (41*) and Aamer Jamal (27*) putting up a defiant partnership to take the game into the final day. The duo weathered the storm, frustrating England's bowlers and keeping their team in the contest.

England's bowlers, led by James Anderson and Ollie Robinson, had made early inroads on Day 4, reducing Pakistan to 82/6. But Salman and Jamal's partnership has given Pakistan a glimmer of hope.

The match is evenly poised heading into the final day. England will be looking to dismiss the remaining Pakistan wickets quickly and secure a comprehensive victory. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be aiming to bat out the day and set a challenging target for England in the second innings.
