Pakistan ground guide: Multan
The Multan Stadium is Pakistan's newest Test venue, having staged its first five-day match only four years ago.
Five Pakistan batsmen, including local boy Inzamam-ul-Haq, scored a century in the same innings as Bangladesh were thrashed by an innings and 264 runs.
It was a very different story against the same opponents two years later as Pakistan scraped home by one wicket.
In 2004, India played their first Test in Pakistan for 14 years and inflicted an innings defeat on the home side.
MULTAN FACTS AND FIGURES (TESTS)
Pakistan have yet to win the toss in a Multan Test - and on each occasion have had to bowl first.
Four Pakistan bowlers conceded more than 100 runs - and Saqlain Mushtaq more than 200 - when Virender Sehwag 's 309 off 375 saw India to a total of 675-5 declared in April last year.
Inzamam-ul-Haq's 138 not out against Bangladesh two years ago is the highest score by a Pakistan batsman at the ground.
There have been four instances of bowlers taking five or more wickets in an innings, all involving spinners. Pakistan's Danish Kaneria had match figures of 12-94 against Bangladesh in 2001 - six wickets in each innings.

Multan Cricket Test England vs Pakistan
 England gain upper hand in MultanNov 12, 2005
A determined display from England's bowlers left Pakistan fighting to salvage their first innings after day one of the opening Test in Multan.
Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison took two wickets each, and there was success for debutant Shaun Udal as the home side went to stumps on 244-6.
Captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was unbeaten on 41, trying to marshal the lower order.
Pakistan won the toss and began well, Salman Butt hitting 74, but they lost four wickets for 22 runs in nine overs.
Pakistan surprised many by selecting a single spinner, Danish Kaneria getting the nod over veteran Mushtaq Ahmed.
Leg-spin all-rounder Shahid Afridi, who has hit 350 runs and taken 14 wickets in the last four Tests, was omitted in favour of batsman Raza.
Pace bowler Shabbir Ahmed, was chosen to play in his first Test for five months after overcoming a chucking controversy, replaced Rana Naved-ul-Hasan.
Day one (stumps): Pakistan 244-6 v England
 Trescothick puts England on topNov 13, 2005
Stand-in captain Marcus Trescothick scored a century as England took charge of the first Test against Pakistan.
He was 135 not out at stumps, alongside nightwatchman Matthew Hoggard, with England just 21 behind on 253-3 at the end of day two in Multan.
Ian Bell (71) helped Trescothick put on 180 and Paul Collingwood made 10.
England had taken four wickets in the first 50 minutes to bowl Pakistan out. Andrew Flintoff took 4-68, including captain Inzamam-ul-Haq for 53.
Mohammad Sami made the early breakthrough, hitting Andrew Strauss on the back leg with a delivery that swung in to the left-hander.
But he was generally inconsistent, erring both sides of the wicket, and England took good advantage as 10 overs before tea cost 49 and he was not used again.
Fellow seamer Shabbir Ahmed was unthreatening in both line and pace, with Collingwood to blame for a tame edge behind to a straight delivery.
A pitch that had offered little to the bowlers on the opening day had appeared faster on the second morning, when England's second new ball was just five overs old.
Early swing, on offer in misty early conditions, helped Matthew Hoggard move the fifth ball of the day away from Sami, who edged behind with an unwise prod.
Flintoff finished the Pakistan threat with the wicket of Inzamam, shortly after he had passed his sixth half-century in his 13th Test against England.
The Pakistan skipper got an edge to a delivery that left him, with Strauss clinging on at second slip.
Day two (stumps): Pakistan 274 v England 253-3
 Pakistan hit back against EnglandNov 14, 2005
Andrew Flintoff dismissed Younis Khan late on as Pakistan ended day three on 125-2, still 19 runs behind England in the first Test in Multan.
Marcus Trescothick hit 193 to help the tourists build a lead of 144, but they lost their last five wickets for 54.
The stand-in captain was one of Shabbir Ahmed's four victims as England were dismissed in the afternoon for 418.
Steve Harmison removed Shoaib Malik cheaply but Salman Butt (53) and Younis (48) put on 93 until Flintoff struck.
Day three (stumps): Pakistan 274 & 125-2 v England 418
 England set for Multan run chaseNov 15, 2005
England closed day four on 24-1, chasing 198 to win the first Test after bowling Pakistan out for 341.
The man out was Marcus Trescothick, edging Shabbir Ahmed into his stumps.
England's victory chance was set up in a destructive spell with the second new ball as Pakistan lost their last seven wickets for 75 either side of tea.
Salman Butt (122) made his second Test ton while Andrew Flintoff finished with 4-88, and eight wickets in the match. Inzamam-ul-Haq hit a patient 72.
Day four (stumps): Pakistan 274 & 341 v England 418 & 24-1
 Pakistan win as England collapseNov 16, 2005
Pakistan bowled England out for 175 after lunch on the final day to win the first Test in Multan by 22 runs.
Leg-spinner Danish Kaneria finished with 4-62, while Shoaib Akhtar took 3-49 and Mohammad Sami 2-31.
Andrew Strauss and Ian Bell added 40 to the overnight 24-1 but after they were caught off Kaneria the tourists folded.
Only Geraint Jones (33) provided any real resistance as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series, which continues in Faisalabad on Sunday.
Pakistan's Salman Butt, who scored 196 runs in the Test, was named Man of the Match.
