Day 1

On Thursday, Pakistan and England met in Rawalpindi for the third and final Test match, the Gaddafi Stadium at Rawalpindi saw Pakistan win the toss and opt to bat first, only for them to be bowled out for 267 runs in 68.2 overs – Kamran Ghulam leading scoring on his Test debut while Babar Azam contributed half centuries. Middle order resistance from Jamie Smith (89) and Gus Atkinson (39) could provide any respite.

England decided to play spin in their reply and it paid off, with them restricting Pakistan to 322/6 at stumps. Jack Leach led their bowling attack with two wickets while Matthew Potts and Brydon Carse each took one wicket.

Pakistan’s top order crumbled under England’s relentless pace attack and left them struggling for runs on a pitch ideal for batting. When captain Shan Masood was dismissed for five runs it marked an end of their batting performance and left them all-square. With 1-1 tie now set up between these sides. Pakistan have suffered an extremely disappointing result and extended their winless streak at home Test matches to 11 Test matches, leaving only one remaining Test to play against Australia before final match concludes. Pakistan will hope for some consolation victory from their final encounter. However, England are unlikely to collapse, given their quality bowlers and determination to put themselves into winning positions. Ollie Pope heaped praise upon his side’s bowlers – particularly their captain. He extolled their performance: “Credit to our bowlers who went about their work with great focus and purpose – especially under pressure and have performed magnificently so far despite newcomers joining the side. They’ve demonstrated why I put so much faith in them as captain. “You could see they knew exactly what to expect when facing pressure compared with those they had against England a while ago compared with that team they lost by 8 wickets vs India by 4 wickets!

Day 2

Pakistan made drastic adjustments after their humiliating innings defeat in the opening Test match, recycling the pitch from that match, revamping their selection committee, and packing their side with spinners – Kamran Ghulam replaced Babar Azam while Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah were dropped. They also decided to team their batting lineup up with three specialist spinners such as Noman Ali and Sajid Khan for added spin.

Noman and Sajid made this strategy pay dividends quickly. From their first spell together, the pair weaved a web around England’s batters – sending a wave of sweeps and reverse-sweeps their way; England lost six wickets within less than two hours as Noman claimed seven wickets with Sajid taking one each for Pakistan, becoming the first pair since Dennis Lillee and Bob Massie in 1972 to take all 20 wickets during a Test match.

England were forced to play more carefully in the second spell as captain Ben Stokes was still getting used to his injured hamstring, missing several early opportunities with the bat and falling victim to an easy catch at short mid-off.

The remaining batsmen were more patient, yet were unable to exert much pressure on Pakistan bowlers. Jack Leach stepped in for Steven Finn as an injured replacement and managed two wickets himself to keep Pakistan at bay during his inaugural Test innings.

As the day wore on, Pakistan appeared doomed. But Aamer Jamal and Salman Agha put up a brave resistance that extended Multan’s final day. While this gave Pakistani fans something to cheer about, it did little to alter the outcome.

Day 3

The third day of England v Pakistan Test match was an exciting spectacle, with wickets falling consistently throughout. Shoaib Bashir, Jack Leach and Gus Atkinson each took a wicket early in the first session to further break down Pakistan top order.

Shakeel and Noman batted with great composure on an otherwise lifeless pitch to repel England’s attacks and make an unbroken 109-run stand despite starting off the innings on an uncertain note. Their combination of patience and aggression allowed them to recover after initially experiencing difficulties early in their innings.

Noman managed to survive leg-before decisions against Carse and Smith before being bowled by Leach – yet still remain an integral member of this partnership, striking six fours and two sixes to reach 319 runs, placing him fourth all-time leading run scorer of this series.

Ollie Pope and Joe Root have now moved in and out of the middle order, both looking to hit a winning boundary. Both Durham players seem comfortable sharing brief conversations while facing England, who still face a long way ahead.

Salman Agha keeps up his fight despite Aamer Jamal being out lbw to Carse. Ben Stokes makes an excellent catch at deep backward square leg by Salman Agha at deep backward square leg before adding two runs by sweeping into off side for another four run six; making this afternoon at Derby truly exciting and gripping!

Day 4

England showed their mettle on a wicket that offered virtually no assistance for bowlers as Joe Root and Harry Brook set numerous records, taking advantage of an unfavorable pitch to amass an impressive first innings score.

As the fourth day came to a close, England seemed poised for victory and appeared likely. Yet cricket proved its unpredictable nature once more as Aamer Jamal and Salman Agha held firm through five days to extend the match into a fifth day.

They shared a 109-run partnership to keep Pakistan alive and ensure they didn’t completely collapse, helping keep England on course against an opponent who wasn’t expected to crumble completely. When the final session began, the pitch appeared more alive; possibly aiding spinners. England captain Olli Pope decided to bring on spinner Jack Leach; this Yorkshireman immediately made an impactful four-wicket haul, breaking up Pakistan’s lower middle order resistance.

England scored an emphatic win and became the first side in 147 years to overcome an opponent that scored over 500 runs in their opening innings. Captain Olli Pope lauded his players, crediting Harry Brook and Joe Root’s determination as being key. Additionally, Olli Pope highlighted Brydon Carse and Jack Leach’s impressive performances as debutants who seamlessly integrated back into his side after returning from injury. It was an exciting display of skill and determination by both teams that kept fans enthralled throughout.

Day 5

England seemed assured of victory as they averaged just shy of 500 runs on a pitch that offered little assistance for bowlers.

But then a bizarre series of events conspired against England. Dropped catches, overturned edges and mysterious nicks combined to derail their momentum; England slumped to 142-6 and were now 115 behind; their only hope of saving this match lay in posting an enormous total in their final innings.

However, they were unable to do so. Despite a half-century from Salman Khan, their tail unraveled quickly; Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha both fell to Jack Leach via leg-break deliveries; Aamer Jamal too was caught behind on his back pad by Leach for 22.

Pakistan were in trouble and it was inevitable they would fall short, with this Test becoming their 11th consecutive innings defeat at home since 1976 and thus increasing their winless streak to 11. At present, they must be experiencing one of their worst times in cricketing history and it will require considerable hard work for them to break out. Their focus must be on improving their batting and cutting back on silly errors if they want to prevent becoming one-man teams once more. They require more players with the capability of leading and scoring quickly; this will be especially crucial as they face some of the top teams worldwide in cricket. A mix of young and experienced cricketers must be found if any hope of avoid falling below in terms of rankings exists.
