Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has taken to social media to express his thoughts on the pitch conditions in Multan during the ongoing first Test match between Pakistan and England.

Pietersen posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), "That wicket in Multan - bowlers GRAVEYARD!" highlighting his belief that the pitch is highly favorable for batting.

As the match unfolds, both teams have faced challenges with the surface, which has shown little assistance for bowlers. The pitch is flat and appears to be batting-friendly, allowing batsmen to score freely without much threat from the bowlers.

Pakistan's Test captain, Shan Masood, capitalized on these conditions, recently bringing up his first Test century in over four years. His aggressive knock has been instrumental in providing a strong start for Pakistan, who are looking to rebound after a series of disappointing performances in previous matches.

With the ongoing series being part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25, both teams are eager to secure valuable points, making the performance on this batting-friendly pitch all the more critical.
