Phew! Records tumbled like anything in a Test match, where the bowlers worked hard to pick up wickets. It was the flattest of the pitches in Multan, where we have the second Test of the series scheduled as well. Ominous signs for the bowlers! For now, this is me, AkshayaKrishna Polya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Akshay Bhide and scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal, who brought you all the live action of Day 5. We will meet again. Until then, its cheers!
