Pakistan Brings Down Deficit to 23 but England Still in Control of Third Cricket Test

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — The Pakistan top order finally showed its batting muscles to delay England’s bid for a series sweep on day three of the third and final test at Edgbaston on Friday. Shan Masood (95), captain Babar Azam (76) and young opener Azan Awais (59) all made half-centuries as Pakistan breached the 200-run

Babar Azam came close to a century in the Edgbaston Test against England after three years but was dismissed for 76. He crossed double figures for the first time in the series and, along with Shan Masood (95), powered Pakistan's batting. Despite scoring 300+ runs, the team was in danger of losing, and Babar seemed to be responding to criticism of his poor form.

In the third Test against England, the Pakistani batsman batted brilliantly under pressure but fell just 5 runs short of a century. He scored 95 runs off 148 balls with the help of 12 fours but missed his century by 5 runs. This was the first time in his career that the player was dismissed on a nervous 90.

Shan Masood Missed Century: Pakistani batsman Shan Masood batted brilliantly in the second innings of the third Test against England, but he remained just 5 runs short of a century.
