How to watch Pakistan vs England: live stream 2nd Test 2024 online or on TV

Pakistan and England meet again in Multan this week following a remarkable opener to their three-match Test series. Pakistan vs England 2nd Test live streams start on Tuesday, October 15 at 6 am UK / 1 am ET and are scheduled to run to Saturday, October 19.

The Pakistan vs England Test series is airing on Sky Sports in the UK and Willow and Sling TV in the US. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on because you can watch PAK vs ENG live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

After some rocky times, all was looking right with Pakistani cricket again when they piled on 556 runs over the first two days of the 1st Test, including a century for new captain Shan Masood. But the tourists had other ideas — Yorkshire pair Joe Root and Harry Brook shared a record breaking partnership of 454 as England made the fourth highest innings total in Test history of 823.

One home side capitulation later and they'd self destructed their way to an embarrassing loss. Heads have rolled ahead of the 2nd Test; Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi have previously been the spine of Pakistan's red ball team, but both are in wretched form and make way.

With the same strip being reused for the 2nd Test, Pakistan are banking on spin. They've named four tweakers in their side, with debutant Kamran Ghulam joining Noman Ali, Sajid Khan and Zahid Mahmood. Talismanic captain Ben Stokes is back for England. He and seamer Matthew Potts are in the tourists' XI, with Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson rested.

It's likely to be a very different game in Multan this time around and we've got all the information you need to watch Pakistan vs England live streams below — including ways to watch cricket online from anywhere in the world.
