ABU DHABI, UAE (Jan. 28) – Left-arm spinner Abdur Rehman took six wickets as Pakistan beat England by 72 runs in the second test on Saturday to take the decisive 2-0 lead in the 3-match series, bowling out the tourists for 72 in their second innings after another miserable batting display.

The situation was under control but suddenly Abdur Rehman, not Saeed Ajmal this time, arrived into the scene as the “destroyer” to ring the death bell for the English batsmen. Suddenly, Rehman started to approach towards the crease with an attacking rhythm, suddenly he started to spun the web of magic around the English batsmen, suddenly he started to vary his length, suddenly the English men started to move their feet towards the pavilion and thus an incredible spell had been scripted to essay one of the most incredible wins in Test cricket’s history.
England earlier dismissed Pakistan for 214 to give themselves a target of 145 to win and square the series, but English batsmen again fell deep in trouble dealing with the Pakistan’s triple spin threat of Abdur Rehman, Saeed Ajmal and Muhammad Hafeez.
Abdur Rehman played a key role with 6-25 demolishing England on 72 – England’s lowest Test total against Pakistan; while Ajmal’s grabbed 3 for 22.
Pakistan, who play their home series in the UAE due to security concerns in home, won last week’s first test in Dubai by 10 wickets.
