Two bowlers who didn’t feature in the 1st Test have taken all 20 England wickets in the 2nd Test. The new selectors likely feeling justifiably smug right now… #PAKvENG pic.twitter.com/MXZkRWdMjJ

Noman Ali 11 wickets
Sajid Khan 9 wickets

This is only the 7th time in Test history and first time in 52 years that two bowlers have taken all 20 wickets. Last such instance was by Dennis Lillee & Bob Massie vs England in 1972. #PakvEng
