Pakistan Collapse to 26-4 Against England in 3rd Test

England’s pace attack took seven wickets in the morning session as Pakistan’s much-changed lineup struggled again and Babar Azam fell for 7.

  • On Wednesday, Pakistan slumped to 100-7 by lunch on the opening day of the third Test at Edgbaston, as England's seamers dominated the tourists' top order in chaotic morning conditions.
  • Trailing 2-0 in the series, Pakistan sacked head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and assistant Umar Gul, then handed Test debuts to wicketkeeper Ghazi Ghori, fast bowler Razaullah, and all-rounder Mohammad Imran Randhawa.
  • England's new-ball attack, led by Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer, tore through Pakistan's top order, leaving the tourists at 48/5 before captain Babar Azam fell for just seven to Josh Tongue.
  • Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja said the innings was in "serious turmoil," yet debutant Razaullah and Saud Shakeel provided resistance, remaining unbeaten on 11 and 37 respectively at lunch.
  • With CricViz's bounce inconsistency rating at 5.7, Pakistan struggled to adapt during a tour where they have now lost 15 of their past 20 matches, adding to series pressure.
