Former England cricketer James Anderson has rejoined the England squad as they face a tough challenge against Pakistan in the ongoing PAK vs ENG 1st Test in Multan. Anderson, who retired earlier this year, has returned to the England dressing room to mentor the team’s pacers as they continue to struggle on a flat wicket, with Pakistan going past the 400-run mark before lunch on Day 2.

The legendary pacer, delayed in joining the team due to his participation in a golf tournament in Scotland, is expected to offer crucial guidance to England’s struggling bowlers, including Gus Atkinson, Chris Woakes, and Brydon Carse, who have had little success against the dominant Pakistan batting line-up.

Pakistan’s batters, led by Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique, have piled on the runs, putting England under pressure after centuries on Day 1. Pakistan continued to extend their lead on Day 2, frustrating England with their resilience and strong batting performance. Anderson’s presence in the dressing room brings some hope that his experience and advice can provide the much-needed boost for the England bowlers in the challenging conditions.
