Pakistan staged a remarkable fightback on day three of the third Test at Edgbaston, posting 449 in their second innings to set England a target of 130 runs to complete a 3-0 series clean sweep.
Centurions Lead Pakistan Recovery
Captain Shan Masood, premier batter Babar Azam, and debutant Razaullah all recorded half-centuries as the tourists turned a precarious position into a commanding total. The trio’s contributions anchored an innings that shifted the match momentum decisively.
Debutant Razaullah Shines
The highlight of the day belonged to Razaullah, whose aggressive stroke play on debut provided the impetus Pakistan needed. His counter-attacking innings not only entertained the Edgbaston crowd but also ensured the home side would face a challenging fourth-innings chase.
England Target Series Whitewash
Needing just 130 runs for victory, England are heavy favorites to seal a 3-0 series triumph. The pitch at Edgbaston has offered assistance to bowlers throughout the match, meaning the target is by no means a formality, though the hosts’ batting depth suggests they will back themselves to finish the job.
