Loneliness is like a hiss of a snake ambushed. It‘s horrific and horrible. The sound of the hidden menace spoils your peace of mind and is panicking enough to make you taste death before dying.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Dozens of members from Pakistan's civil society rallied on Tuesday in the southern port city of Karachi against the death sentence handed down to a Christian man on blasphemy charges, nearly a year after one of the worst mob attacks on Christians in the country.

Several Christians also joined the rally which comes a day after a court in Sahiwal in the Punjab province announced the death sentence to Ehsan Shan after finding him guilty of sharing “hateful content" against Muslims on social media.

Shan's lawyer Khurram Shahzad said on Monday he will appeal the verdict.

He was arrested in August 2023 after groups of Muslim men burned dozens of homes and churches in the city of Jaranwala in Punjab after some residents claimed they saw two Christian men desecrating pages from Islam’s holy book, the Quran. The two men were later arrested.

Though Shan was not party to the desecration, he was accused of reposting the defaced pages of the Quran on his TikTok account.

At Tuesday's rally in Karachi, a Christian leader Luke Victor, called for Shah's release.

He also demanded action against those who were involved in burning churches and homes of Christians in Jaranwala.

Blasphemy accusations are common in Pakistan. Under the country’s blasphemy laws, anyone found guilty of insulting Islam or Islamic religious figures can be sentenced to death. While authorities have yet to carry out a death sentence for blasphemy, often a mere accusation can cause riots and incite mobs to violence, lynching and killings.

Pakistan leads by Noman and Sajid on the 19-wicket day.

In the Multan Test, Pakistan finished with a final lead of 202 runs thanks to a record 19-wicket Day 2 led by Noman Ali (5 for 39) and Sajid Khan (4 for 65). West Indies collapsed for just 137 in response as the Pakistan spinners played havoc after Pakistan collapsed for 230 in a lower-order collapse despite a strong first hour of the morning session. With seven wickets remaining, Pakistan's lead surpassed 200 thanks to Shan Masood's fifty in the last session.

The overnight half-centurions Saud Shakeel (84) and Mohammad Rizwan (71), who held off the West Indies for an hour following a 30-minute delay in the start of the match due to fog for the second consecutive day, contributed 141 runs to Pakistan's 230. Early on, the well-set partnership was able to score runs because the West Indies bowling attack lacked consistency and discipline.

But Kevin Sinclair's strike on the first ball, which gave the keeper a slight edge, signalled the start of the collapse shortly after the drinks break. It would have been a worthy century, but Shakeel missed it by sixteen. Jomel Warrican then took the first of his three wickets of the day when Salman Agha pulled a thick edge onto his stumps.

Sinclair's very next over put Pakistan firmly on the defensive. First, Norman Ali lost his wicket in a run-out due to a huge misunderstanding between him and Rizwan in the middle. Rizwan made the call before he withdrew. With Pakistan losing both set batsmen in four overs, Sinclair had him trapped LBW on 71 a ball later.

In the 69th over, Warrican ended Pakistan's first innings by dismissing both Sajid Khan and Khurram Shahzad, who had a brief partnership of 25 for the ninth wicket after Khan hit a six and a four in his cameo of 18 at no. 9.

In the second over, Sajid bowled Mikyle Louis over the gate, making an almost instantaneous impression with the ball as well. With a brilliant take from debutant Muhammad Hurraira, Keacy Carty was caught at short leg on the very next delivery. Sajid's third victim, Kraigg Brathwaite, was bowled while trying a calculated sweep. The visitors were reduced to 22/4 within five overs of their reply when Kavem Hodge provided a return catch two balls later in the same over, which a tumbling Sajid was able to hang onto.

Early in his tenure, Justin Greaves was saved from an LBW ruling by DRS, but he quickly became Noman's first victim. Tevin Imlach and Alick Athanaze were both stranded LBW in his second, third, and fourth overs, while Kevin Sinclair was caught at long-off after attempting a big shot. Following a quick 25-run partnership between Jomel Warrican and Gudakesh Motie, Noman bowled the former to finish his fifer.

When they had nothing to lose, the West Indies innings' best partnership, incidentally, occurred. Jayden Seales and Warrican, the last-wicket duo, counterattacked and combined for 46 runs. Seales smashed three sixes and made 22 of them during his short but exciting stay. Abrar Ahmed then ended his fireworks and the first innings for the West Indies at 137. In the post-lunch session, West Indies broke down in just 26 overs as Warrican finished undefeated at 31 off just 24, including four boundaries and a six.

The first hour of the final session was dominated by the Pakistan openers, who started strong and put on a strong 67-run partnership, building on their 93-run advantage. Warrican made a patient 29, but shortly after the drinks break, he trapped Hurraira plumb in front of the wickets, ending the partnership.

For a brief moment, Shan Masood shifted tactics, striking sixes in back-to-back overs, but the hosts eased off their onslaught after Babar Azam was removed. Babar was also beaten on the inside edge by Warrican as he advanced to defend and trapped LBW, just like Hurraira. Kamran Ghulam, who was beaten two balls in a row for the remainder of the over, engaged the bowler in a brief duel. Soon later, Ghulam was assigned Warrican LBW, but he was able to avoid it by using a review.

After getting set, Masood silently reached a half-century off 60 balls and then demanded a nonexistent single to dismiss him. Two overs later, the lightmeters came out against the quickly failing light, and the players could only play another over before the umpires removed them.

Brief scores:

West Indies 137 (Jomel Warrican 31*; Noman Ali 5-39, Sajid Khan 4-65) are ahead of Pakistan 230 (Saud Shakeel 84, Mohammad Rizwan 71; Jayden Seales 3-27, Jomel Warrican 3-69) & 109/3 (Shan Masood 52, Jomel Warrican 2-17) by 202 runs.

Lunch Pakistan 230 (Shakeel 84, Rizwan 71, Seales 3-27) vs West IndiesWest Indies took four wickets for 13 runs to trigger a Pakistan collapse after Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan put on 141 runs for the fifth wicket to leave Pakistan two wickets away from the end of the innings. The pair had begun with the same authority they ended the fourth day with, but once Kevin Sinclair snared Shakeel 16 short of a fifth Test hundred, Pakistan's resistance melted away. Only a punchy rearguard partnership between Sajid Khan and Khurram Shahzad prevented West Indies from running through the innings even sooner, but Pakistan were still bowled out for 230 on the stroke of lunch.West Indies began the day sticking to disciplined tight lines, at one point conceding six runs in seven overs as Jayden Seales and Jomel Warrican locked in. But neither batter offered up chances during this time, and when Pakistan negotiated the first hour without loss, West Indies were in danger of being shut out of the game.But the first ball after drinks brought joy for West Indies. Sinclair lured Shakeel forward before getting it to grip and taking his edge. As if it had been forgotten, the pitch suddenly began to remind everyone how hostile it could be to batters against quality spin as the ball hissed and spat off the surface. Salman Agha was deceived in the flight from Warrican to drag on before Pakistan imploded. A bizarre mix-up between Rizwan and Noman Ali saw the wicketkeeper turn his back on Noman to leave him unsuccessfully scrambling to return to the non-striker's end, before a reverse sweep off the next delivery ended his own innings, a sharp West Indian review finishing off Rizwan's innings for 71.It was only an entertaining stand from Sajid and Khurram that saw a few more runs flow for Pakistan before the innings petered out. Sajid launched Sinclair over cow corner for six amidst a little flurry as Pakistan added 25 quickfire runs. But Warrican returned to wrap the innings up, making short work of both as they took 6 wickets for 43 in a session of two halves.

Pakistan’s release Noman Ali and Zahid Mahmood from the squad

The media manager for the Pakistan team revealed to Cricbuzz that on the opening day of the first Test match between Pakistan and England in Multan. Leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood and left-arm orthodox Noman Ali were cut from the team.

Mahmood was a late addition to Pakistan’s squad, making him the 16th player. The lineup was only confirmed for the first Test match. One day after Pakistan revealed their squad of 15 players for the first Test, the leg-spinner was added. In his two Test matches, which he played in December 2022 during England’s final tour of Pakistan. He grabbed 12 wickets in four innings.

Up to the previous year, Ali was a consistent member of the Pakistani team. Due to severe appendicitis, he was forced to return home from Australia. Before to the commencement of Pakistan’s Test tour in December of last year. He was left out of the 17-player team for the two Tests against Bangladesh in August and September.

Noman Ali and Zahid Mahmood

Pakistan had reduced their team to 15 players and added Noman Ali in lieu of Khurram Shahzad, who was injured. Shan Masood had mentioned before this series that Pakistan has chosen to have a smaller squad size in order to ensure that every player receives the appropriate attention from the support staff.

The move, however, leaves Pakistan with only three reserves players – Mohammad Huraira, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Mir Hamza – with limited alternatives in case they require concussion substitutions.

After suffering a relapse from acute appendicitis in December of last year, Noman Ali, a mainstay in Pakistan’s Test team, had to return home before of the Australia tour. Moreover, he was left out of Pakistan’s 17-man team for the Test match against Bangladesh earlier in the year. Before the England series. He rejoined the team in lieu of Khurram Shahzad. Who was injured.
