fashioned an extraordinary turnaround on the
second day at the P Sara Oval, with Pakistan
dominating as completely as they had been
dominated on the opening day. Led by superb
spells from Gul and an outstanding century on

wiped off the arrears and moved ahead, losing
only one wicket in the process.
