England vs Pakistan, 3rd Test: Pakistan’s batting in the third test against England Once again she faltered badly. The decision taken by England captain Joe Root to bowl first after winning the toss did not take much time to be proven correct. The entire Pakistan team was all out for 133 runs in just 33.5 overs.

This trend of Pakistan’s batting is being seen continuously in this series. Only three batsmen from the team could reach double figures. England’s fast bowlers maintained pressure on Pakistan’s batsmen from the beginning and took four wickets in the first hour.

By lunch, Pakistan had lost 7 wickets and the team could not reach even close to 100 runs. After this the innings did not last long and just before the drinks break of the third hour, the entire Pakistan team returned to the pavilion. h

Among England’s bowlers, almost all the fast bowlers got help from the pitch. Only Gus Atkinson could not get a wicket, while the rest of the fast bowlers continuously troubled the Pakistani batsmen. Although there was some help for the bowlers on the pitch, it was not a pitch on which any team could be reduced to just 133 runs.

For Pakistan, Saud Shakeel struggled for some time and in the lower order, Mohammad Abbas also tried to handle the team, but the rest of the batsmen could not stand against the seam bowlers of England. Shakeel scored 43, Razaullah scored 11 and Mohammad Abbas scored 21 runs. Apart from this, Sam Ayub scored 0, Azaan Awais 9, Abdullah Shafiq scored 3, Shan Masood scored 5, Babar Azam scored 7, Ghazi Ghori scored 4, Mohammad Imran Randhawa scored 5 runs. Mohammad Ali remained unbeaten after scoring 5 runs. For England, Josh Tong took 4 wickets, while Joffra Archer and Ollie Robinson took 3-3 wickets.

This innings of Pakistan was one of its shortest innings against England in Test cricket. This inning of 133 runs in 33.5 overs is Pakistan’s third shortest Test innings against England. Earlier in 2010, Pakistan was all out for 80 runs in 29 overs in Nottingham and 74 runs in 33 overs at Lord’s.

Now the pressure on Pakistan has increased a lot in the competition. England’s bowlers have already given a big blow to Pakistan. Now the host team will try to put pressure on Pakistan by taking a big lead.
