Vaughan Predicts Pakistan Collapse in Second Test

Michael Vaughan, the former England captain, has predicted that Pakistan may face another collapse in the second Test against England at Multan, similar to their embarrassing defeat in the first Test. Vaughan's comments came after Pakistan's spinner Sajid Khan pegged back England on Day 2, reducing them to 239 for 6 despite opener Ben Duckett's century.

Vaughan believes that if England takes a first-innings lead, it could lead to a similar finish as the first Test, where Pakistan collapsed in the second innings. However, Pakistan is currently 127 runs behind at stumps on Day 2 with four wickets in hand, leaving open the possibility of them taking a first-innings lead and building on it.

Vaughan's comments follow his earlier criticism of Pakistan's decision to drop Babar Azam from the Test squad, calling it a "stupid decision." However, Babar's replacement, Kamran Ghulam, proved Vaughan wrong by scoring a century on debut.

Former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali responded to Vaughan's comments, saying that "Vaughan should be shown the picture of Kamran Ghulam."

The second Test between Pakistan and England is poised for an exciting finish, with Pakistan needing to bat well in the second innings to avoid another collapse and level the series.
