Pakistan vs England

CRR: 4.00. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Babar Azam*, 11(14), 2, 0, 78.57. Azhar Ali, 20(40), 3, 0, 50. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Rehan Ahmed*, 1, 0, 7, 0.

23.4 Robinson to Azhar Ali, no run, did not play this well at all. Full outside off, Azhar Ali drives and gets lucky Definite glove and UltraEdge proves the deflection. The umpires are checking and will send this upstairs. The debutant was too short or too full and just before lunch Stokes brought back Robinson who got Azhar. But Wood who was hitting the high 140s, got Masood to leading-edge one to fine-leg.

Azhar Ali hopes for farewell appearance as Pakistan seek to end series on a high.

Azhar did not play in Multan after a disappointing display at Rawalpindi - his haul of 67 runs across two innings meant he was the only member of the top three on either team to miss out on a hundred - and was hampered by a finger injury as Pakistan failed to bat out for a draw on the final day. The downside for Stokes is that he lost out to none other than his coach, McCullum, and as a forfeit, will have the pleasure of waiting on Brook at the team's pre-match dinner. Ben Foakes returns in place of Will Jacks - the man who stepped in at the last minute in Rawalpindi when Foakes failed to recover from illness - meaning that Ollie Pope relinquishes the gloves that he donned with some distinction in the first two Tests. As Rob Key related in the lead-up to the series, the plan had always been to add him to the tour, but without fanfare - so as not to drench the moment in hype - and, crucially, not before Brendon McCullum had had a chance to assess his character up close and in person. And it seems that McCullum liked what he saw - Ahmed's thwack-happy innings of 26 from 10 balls in the warm-up match in Abu Dhabi was every bit as revealing as the eight expensive and wicketless overs that preceded it. On the one hand, it's bold to the point of impetuous - the boy is barely 18, and has played the grand total of three first-class matches - but on the other, it's a perfectly calculated risk. But on both occasions, the thrill of Pakistan's chase came down to the ingeniously weighted targets that Stokes had been willing to dangle - through a bold declaration at Rawalpindi, then through what was effectively an auto-completed second innings at Multan, where England's loss of five wickets for 19 runs seemed to matter less than the desire to keep their quarry interested in a nominal target of 355. It's only ingenious if it works, of course - and until Mark Wood got busy on that fourth afternoon, there was maybe just a whiff of hubris in the air. They've been creating their own intensity since the start of this remarkable run back in June - eight wins in nine Tests now, and each one of them a humdinger - and having lived up to their stated intention to play for a result come what may, we'd best buckle up and see what variation on the theme they serve up this time.

The Men in Green will hope to avoid a first-ever series at home and give a winning farewell to Azhar, who has been a great servant of Pakistan cricket, especially in the longest format of the game.

England, on their first Test tour to Pakistan since 2005, lead the series 2-0 after winning the first match by 74 runs in Rawalpindi and the second by 26 in Multan. Speaking after the toss, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam said: "We will try to get a score and put pressure on them."

England have frustrated Pakistan's bowlers with their relentless aggression over the last two weeks.

Those included a thick outside edge for four from Babar, slashing at a wide legbreak, but the rest came when Ahmed erred too full or short in his first spell. Shafique reviewed unsuccessfully, the ball predicted to clip leg stump by ball-tracking. The umpires were unclear if the ball had carried, with an soft signal of 'not out', but Marais Erasmus overturned the on-field decision.

Pakistan will pin hopes on likes of Babar, Imam ul Haq, Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan to come good in the third and last Test and take the home side to victory to salvage some pride in the end. Not to forget, Pakistan had a great chance of making it 1-1 in the three-match series in Multan but they faltered at the very end in the chase to lose the match and eventually the series. The Bazball brand of cricket has come to the fore as England have looked to play aggressive cricket, trying to press for win, on the lifeless tracks of Pakistan, which have been slammed by the fans in the country.

After Faheem’s dismissal, Agha Salman and Nuaman Ali started to take the day away from England with a 48 run stand for the eighth wicket but Leach came back and finished it off with three in four overs. With a better rhythm to his bowling he was effective and Pakistan struggled to pick the googly. In five overs he took one for 19, the maiden wicket of Shakeel was one to remember. Foakes gathered the ball but as he did so he flicked a bail off with his glove. A hug and kiss from his dad was followed by warm applause from the small contingent of England fans who recognised this moment of history. Mohammad Rizwan, their second most likely batsman to make a big score, pulled a full toss to midwicket as Pakistan faltered in the face of aggressive fields, some short pitched quick stuff which knocked over two of the top three and positive captaincy matched with good fielding on a flat pitch.

Four wickets from Jack Leach and an excellent performance from debutant Rehan Ahmed saw England bowl out Pakistan for 304 on day one of the third Test, ...

The pair took Pakistan to the cusp of lunch before Azhar gloved a leg-side delivery from Robinson through to Ben Foakes to leave the score at 117 for three. Then Agha Salman would run-out his captain Babar for 78 after a fantastic one-handed pick up from Foakes where in one motion he claimed Brook’s throw on the bounce and then removed the bails. First Stokes took a skier to dismiss Nauman Ali for a brisk 20, before Salman was comprehensively stumped and No11 Abrar Ahmed clean bowled as Pakistan finished on 304 all out. The ball looked to be falling painfully out of the reach of fielder Harry Brook, but stationed at short leg he dived forward one-handed and plucked the ball off the turf before all 10 of the England team swarmed Ahmed in celebration. Not long after, Leach would be in the thick of the action again. His first five overs went for 35 runs as Azhar Ali and Babar Azam punished any waverings of length from the teenager.

Pakistan hit back early through spinner Abrar Ahmed, who claimed Zak Crawley leg before wicket without scoring in his first over.

Azhar, who announced his retirement from test cricket on Friday, was snapped up by Foakes and the television replays confirmed it was a clean catch as Pakistan reached 117-3. Pakistan hit back early through spinner Abrar Ahmed, who claimed Zak Crawley leg before wicket without scoring in his first over, and England finished the opening day at 7-1. Azhar, playing in his 97th test, replaced all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz. Leach had Salman stumped off a delivery, which spun sharply away from the right-hander before wrapping up the innings. Leach had earlier struck in his second over when he had Abdullah Shafique trapped lbw for 8 in his third over with a new ball that skidded off the wicket and hit the batter on the front pad. England, looking for a rare 3-0 clean sweep in its first test tour to Pakistan in 17 years, had made early inroads after Babar won his first toss in the series and chose to bat.

CRR: 2.33. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Ollie Pope*, 3(7), 0, 0, 42.86. Ben Duckett, 4(6), 0, 0, 66.67. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Abrar Ahmed*, 2, 1, 2, 1.

And given how the spinners started to dominate from second half of the second session, it appears to be a spin-fest. With about 14 minutes to stumps, opener Crawley was trapped plumb in front in the very first over from Abrar Ahmed and if that is any indication of things to come, we are in for a thrilling second day's play which promises to be a contest between spin vs smash. Also, Rehan ahmed became the only second England leg spinner after Ian Salisbury to claim two wickets in the first innings on Test debut.

He can pick up a single before Duckett does the same, before Pope rounds up the over with a couple more that gets the fielders running. The England debutant reacted after taking 2-89 stating "I think I rushed a little bit in my first spell but it came out better than I expected. Pope picks off Wasim's muddled line to smack the ball through legside, streaking past the fielder on square to kiss the boundary for four. Agha Salman and Babar Azam both passed half-centuries for Pakistan but you sense their score looks below par on such a flat surface, however the pitch did seem to offer more turn as the day progressed with Jack Leach completing figures of 4-140. Duckett nets England their opening half-century in style, with a sweet strike that floats over the boundary at the sightscreen for six, picking off Abrar's delivery with a gentle lift. Pope rounds off with a couple with a strike that glances behind. Abrar sends in a quickening ball with a view to ruffling Pope's feather's. The review only serves to prolong the agony, as far as I can tell. Umpire's call of not out stands, as the ball would have had to travel and travel to meet the stumps. Babar scoops to miss a jumping ball that leaps out of his palms to grant England an additional run. After Stokes picks up a single through legside, Brook gets England to their opening century with a stupendous six that looks entirely effortless as he lifts the full delivery up and over the boundary. He attempts to get off the mark with a play down the pitch, but the strike is fielded back quickly.

England dismissed Pakistan for 304 on the first day of the third and final Test. The home side skipper Babar Azam and Agha Salman scored defiant half-centuries.

England then went on the attack and 18-year-old debutant all-rounder Rehan Ahmed — who became their youngest men’s Test cricketer — had Saud Shakeel caught for 23 for his maiden wicket. Spinner Jack Leach (4-140) first removed Abdullah Shafique with the new ball and took the catch that sent back Shan Masood off the bowling of paceman Mark Wood to leave Pakistan at 46-2 inside 13 overs, before Azhar Ali steadied the ship. Pakistan, who have already lost the series with defeats in Rawalpindi and Multan, won the toss and opted to bat first on another flat track.

Leach becomes the first spinner to open the attack in a Test for England in 101 years — Jack White did the same against Australia at Leeds in 1921. He is a young chap and he has a lot of potential and looks a very good prospect for the England team.” In the morning session, Pakistan lost Abdullah Shafique (eight), Shan Masood (30) and Azhar Ali (40) before Azam and Shakeel looked to have steadied the innings with a 45-run fourth wicket stand. Sensing the pitch would take spin, England started the attack with Leach, who trapped Shafique leg-before in the sixth over of the day. But the start of the day belonged to Ahmed — who at 18 years and 126 days old became the youngest England player to start a Test — when he dismissed Saud Shakeel for 23 in his seventh over.
