Pakistan Set England 130 to Win Third Test After Razaullah Heroics at Edgbaston
Pakistan have set England a victory target of 130 runs in the third and final Test at Edgbaston following a remarkable all-round performance from 21-year-old Razaullah. The youngster first claimed four wickets in England’s first innings before producing a blistering knock of 81 runs from just 63 deliveries with the bat.
Razaullah Stars With Ball and Bat
Razaullah announced himself on the international stage with a match-defining contribution across both disciplines. His four-wicket haul helped restrict England’s first-innings total, before his explosive counter-attacking innings swung the momentum firmly in Pakistan’s favor. The left-handed batter struck boundaries at will, dominating the bowling attack and accelerating the run-rate to build a defendable lead.
England Face Tense Chase
Chasing 130 for a series-clinching victory, England will need to navigate a potentially tricky fourth-innings pitch against a Pakistan bowling attack buoyed by Razaullah’s earlier exploits. The target is achievable but far from guaranteed, setting up a compelling final chapter to the three-match series.
The match remains finely poised, with both sides having realistic pathways to victory in what has become a thrilling Test contest at Edgbaston.
