Ben Stokes has expressed regret over his behavior during England's defeat in the second Test against Pakistan in Multan, where his team was bowled out for a mere 144 runs on a deteriorating pitch, ultimately losing by 152 runs. Stokes described himself as “a grumpy old man” and acknowledged that his poor body language contributed to the team's struggles. The captain's frustration peaked on Thursday when England missed two straightforward chances to dismiss Salman Agha during Pakistan's second innings. Agha capitalized on these opportunities, scoring over 50 runs and effectively sealing the match for Pakistan. Stokes reflected on the match, stating that the outcome might have been different had England won the toss, indicating that they were at a disadvantage from the start.
