MULTAN, Pakistan (AP) — Sajid Khan has taken seven wickets on a reused wicket tailor-made for spinners and earned Pakistan the lead against England in the second cricket test. Off-spinner Khan inspired Pakistan to a 75-run first-innings lead with impressive figures of 7-111 as England was bowled out for 291 inside the first hour on Day 3 Thursday. Pakistan, trailing 1-0 in the series after a massive innings and 47-run loss in the first test, reached 43-3 at lunch for an overall lead of 118 runs as the dry wicket continues to suit the spinners.
