Pakistan currently involved in a test series against England

Shan Masood-led Pakistan are currently facing Ben Stokes-led England in the third Test match of the series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

With the series tied 1-1, the Three Lions won the toss and elected to bat first in the final Test. They posted a good total of 267 runs on the board despite losing half the team by 98 runs.

It was the rescue act of wicketkeeper-batsman Jamie Smith on a spin-friendly track that helped the visitors achieve a good score. Smith batted superbly against the Pakistani spinners and scored 89 runs.

Meanwhile, Pakistan again started their innings badly as openers Abdullah Shafique (14) and Saim Ayub (19) failed miserably, while Kamran Ghulam managed a single-digit score. The home team finished with 73 for 3 on the scoreboard at the end of day 1.

It wasn’t what I signed up for, I’ll be completely honest – Jason Gillespie
