Pakistan to re-use Multan pitch for second England Test
England scored the fourth highest Test score of 823-7 to inflict an innings and 47-run defeat on the home side on a pitch severely criticised for its batting-friendly nature.
Pakistan scored 556 in their first innings.
Sources in the Pakistan camp confirmed the same first Test pitch will be used on Tuesday.
"We have decided to use the same pitch of the first Test and it is watered and being dried for the use," said a source who did not wish to be named.
Industrial-sized fans were used at both ends to dry the pitch while both teams practised at the ground on Sunday.
Pakistan skipper Shan Masood and head coach Jason Gillespie inspected the pitch and had a lengthy discussion, while England head coach Brendon McCullum also had a long look.
The ICC playing conditions allow re-use of a pitch for successive Tests, but it could result in getting a poor rating if the surface does not play well.
Pakistan has a history of flat pitches, with former Australian great Dennis Lillee denouncing a pitch as "bowlers' graveyard" back in 1980.
Two years ago, the Rawalpindi stadium pitch was deemed "below average" by the International Cricket Council, after 1,187 runs were scored in a Pakistan-Australia Test for the loss of only 14 wickets.
But the ICC rescinded the one demerit point after the Pakistan Cricket Board appealed against the decision.
