Abdur Rehman's claimed his career-best figures of 6-25 to guide Pakistan 72-run victory

The 31-year-old left-arm spinner took two wickets in successive overs as England capitulated for their lowest total of 72 against Pakistan, in purse of 145 runs.

Off-spinner Saeed Ajmal finished with 3-22, boosting his tally of wickets in two Tests to 17.
Earlier, left-arm spinner Monty Panesar ended with 6-62 as Pakistan were bowled out for 214, before the tourists crumbled.

Pakistan had crushed England by ten wickets in the first Test in Dubai inside three days. Both sides will return to Dubai for the third Test and final Test, starting from February 3.
