ENGLAND centurion Ben Duckett expects Pakistan's pitch gamble to continue throwing up drama in the second Test.
The opening batsman swept and reverse-swept his way to a highlyaccomplished 114 on day two, before the hosts took control during a dizzying 15-minute burst that left England chasing the game.
At 211-2, the tourists were looking to go past Pakistan's 366 and build a handsome lead. But things changed drastically as Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook and Ben Stokes were all dismissed in 18 deliveries.
Pre-match predictions that a worn wicket, hastily recycled after being used for last week's series opener, would begin to cause mayhem were finally realised as the ball began to spin sharply off a dusty deck.
