Stokes was the seventh wicket to fall as England lost by 152 runs, leaving the series level and setting up a decider in Rawalpindi from Thursday.

Noman finished the game with 11 wickets on his return to the side, with the other nine all going to his recalled veteran spinner Sajid Khan. This was the first time since 1972 that two bowlers took all 20 wickets for a team in a men's Test.

They benefited from using the same surface as in the first Test, which England won by an innings of 823. Pakistan took a risk with their selection, dropping Babar Azam as one of four changes and winning a crucial toss. Debutant Kamran Ghulam set up the win with a century in the first innings.

Our verdict on every dismissal

England's batting line-up collapsed in quick succession as they struggled to adapt to the varied, used pitch in Multan.

But was the pitch to blame? Or did England's batsmen get themselves out? Telegraph Sport assesses the layoffs:

Ben Duckett (0)

Duckett played brilliantly in the first inning with the sweep key. After being beaten on the first ball, he went hard on the second and scored a lead. Looked ugly and probably could have waited another ball or two, but that approach made Duckett successful. NOT GUILTY

Zak Crawley (3)

Crawley is too large to sweep easily and regularly, so there is no such good method in Asia. He tried to knock Noman to the ground, but was done in mid-flight and staggered. Nice bowling but there was little to be gained with the bat. GUILTY

Ollie Pope (22)

It might have looked harmless, but it was probably the worst thing of all. Pope, as unsettled as ever here, was bowled out in the first innings, making his gentle drive back to Sajid ill-conceived and poorly executed. Another one done by Pakistan's spinners, slightly slower pace and driving against the curve. GUILTY

Joe Root (18)

Another prolific sweeper, Root died by the sword trying to get over the line. He almost succeeded, according to his review. Root tried to avoid the hustle and bustle and maneuver the field. NOT GUILTY

Harry Brook (16)

Brook had also swept well but ran into danger by going back and trying to pounce on the leg side. He missed his target and was at full body weight. This is a shot that has given Brook plenty of runs for England, but it wasn't the right one on this slow, low pitch. GUILTY

Jamie Smith (6)

For the second time in the match, Smith made a catch in front of square. He had played a great slog sweep at the start of Noman's over and tried a repeat. This one was slower, so it dropped sharply and deceived Smith. A frustrating dismissal as it left Stokes ahead and England staring into space. GUILTY

Ben Stokes (37)

Stokes, who had struggled with the spin conditions this year, had changed direction and was sweeping almost every ball or sweeping backwards. And it worked pretty well. Out of nowhere he looked for a big swing across the ground and was done in flight and stumbled, sending his racket flying miles down the leg side. GUILTY

Brydon Carse (27)

Carse had resisted effectively and knocked down a couple of nice sixes. He had exhausted himself a bit, but with the game virtually lost, he tried a big hack and was caught slipping. An understandable exchange, but a baffling assessment. NOT GUILTY

Jack Leach (1)

Simply executed by the flight and dip of his left-arm spinner and caught on the batting pad. Nice bowling to a tailender. NOT GUILTY

Shoaib Bashir (0)

Similar to Leach. Bashir is a natural at number 11, so the sight of him charging forward with a heavy hand in defense was no surprise. NOT GUILTY
