Around 7,000 security forces will keep watch of the Multan Test for a 30,000-capacity stadium. In addition to that, there are roadblocks in place at all entry and exit points. Pakistan has spent $2 million on security cover.

Gunshots heard 1km from England’s team hotel this morning in Multan. Two rival gangs, it seems. Four arrests made, and no one injured. The team’s security plans remain unaffected before tomorrow’s second Test against Pakistan.
