The Men in Green will hope to avoid a first-ever series at home and give a winning farewell to Azhar, who has been a great servant of Pakistan cricket, especially in the longest format of the game. The visitors have not only won the first two Tests but done that with rather style and panache. Ben Stokes' England Test team has been nothing short of a statement in itself.

Those included a thick outside edge for four from Babar, slashing at a wide legbreak, but the rest came when Ahmed erred too full or short in his first spell. Shafique reviewed unsuccessfully, the ball predicted to clip leg stump by ball-tracking. The umpires were unclear if the ball had carried, with an soft signal of 'not out', but Marais Erasmus overturned the on-field decision.

Pakistan will pin hopes on likes of Babar, Imam ul Haq, Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan to come good in the third and last Test and take the home side to victory to salvage some pride in the end. Not to forget, Pakistan had a great chance of making it 1-1 in the three-match series in Multan but they faltered at the very end in the chase to lose the match and eventually the series. The Bazball brand of cricket has come to the fore as England have looked to play aggressive cricket, trying to press for win, on the lifeless tracks of Pakistan, which have been slammed by the fans in the country.

Pakistan are 3-117 at lunch on day one of the third Test against Pakistan, with spinner Jack Leach opening the bowling and claiming a wicket for England.

Four wickets from Jack Leach and an excellent performance from debutant Rehan Ahmed saw England bowl out Pakistan for 304 on day one of the third Test, ...

The pair took Pakistan to the cusp of lunch before Azhar gloved a leg-side delivery from Robinson through to Ben Foakes to leave the score at 117 for three. Then Agha Salman would run-out his captain Babar for 78 after a fantastic one-handed pick up from Foakes where in one motion he claimed Brook’s throw on the bounce and then removed the bails. First Stokes took a skier to dismiss Nauman Ali for a brisk 20, before Salman was comprehensively stumped and No11 Abrar Ahmed clean bowled as Pakistan finished on 304 all out. The ball looked to be falling painfully out of the reach of fielder Harry Brook, but stationed at short leg he dived forward one-handed and plucked the ball off the turf before all 10 of the England team swarmed Ahmed in celebration. Not long after, Leach would be in the thick of the action again. His first five overs went for 35 runs as Azhar Ali and Babar Azam punished any waverings of length from the teenager.

CRR: 2.33. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Ollie Pope*, 3(7), 0, 0, 42.86. Ben Duckett, 4(6), 0, 0, 66.67. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Abrar Ahmed*, 2, 1, 2, 1.

Duckett tried to sweep and missed it completely, got hit on the back leg in front of middle but it pitched just outside leg which proved to be his saving factor eventually... 0.5 Abrar Ahmed to Crawley, out Lbw!! Just about manages to pull the ball back into play... Pakistan review with 2 seconds to go on the DRS timer: It's for lbw against Duckett and the ball seems to have pitched just outside leg or was it? The legreak that pitches on middle and spins just enough to hit Crawley plumb in front of off. Crawley should have been forward but instead he stays back looking to smother into the off-side, the ball spins and strikes Crawley even before he could react. Nauman Ali was slightly confident but Babar wasn't going to budge. Just past the fielder at short leg that... And given how the spinners started to dominate from second half of the second session, it appears to be a spin-fest. With about 14 minutes to stumps, opener Crawley was trapped plumb in front in the very first over from Abrar Ahmed and if that is any indication of things to come, we are in for a thrilling second day's play which promises to be a contest between spin vs smash. Also, Rehan ahmed became the only second England leg spinner after Ian Salisbury to claim two wickets in the first innings on Test debut. Urooj Mumtaz, before the start of play, opined that the pitch looks like a second-day wicket with plenty of cracks sans any moisture.

Rehan Ahmed was thrown straight into the action on the morning of his Test debut as England had...

"They (teammates) backed me the whole day and I couldn't ask for more," he said. "We could have done much better," Pakistan head coach Saqlain Mushtaq said. England claimed three wickets in the first session of play, which set the tone for the rest of the day as they continued to make breakthroughs at key times and limited Pakistan's ability to form significant partnerships. Foakes, who was left out in favour of batter-wicketkeeper Pope for the second Test, combined with Harry Brook to run out the Pakistan captain for 78. England started their innings as the sun began to set in the City of Lights and lost Zak Crawley out for a duck, ending on one for seven. Teenager Rehan Ahmed has justified the faith shown in him by England captain Ben Stokes with two wickets on his Test debut as Pakistan were bowled out for 304 on a slow, flat pitch on the opening day of the third Test in Karachi.

He is a young chap and he has a lot of potential and looks a very good prospect for the England team.” Saqlain thought his team fell short by 60-70 runs. Masood hit five boundaries while Azhar had six hits to the ropes. “They (England players) backed me the whole day and I couldn’t ask for more. It’s the best feeling in my life.” [who at 18 years and 126 days old became the youngest England player to start a Test](https://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/countries/england/absolute-wizard-england-unleash-teenage-prodigy-rehan-ahmed-for-third-test-against-pakistan/news-story/8a55fe9d561492057ef07fee7fa4a4b9) — when he dismissed Saud Shakeel for 23 in his seventh over.

He can pick up a single before Duckett does the same, before Pope rounds up the over with a couple more that gets the fielders running. The England debutant reacted after taking 2-89 stating "I think I rushed a little bit in my first spell but it came out better than I expected. Pope picks off Wasim's muddled line to smack the ball through legside, streaking past the fielder on square to kiss the boundary for four. Agha Salman and Babar Azam both passed half-centuries for Pakistan but you sense their score looks below par on such a flat surface, however the pitch did seem to offer more turn as the day progressed with Jack Leach completing figures of 4-140. Duckett nets England their opening half-century in style, with a sweet strike that floats over the boundary at the sightscreen for six, picking off Abrar's delivery with a gentle lift. Pope rounds off with a couple with a strike that glances behind. Abrar sends in a quickening ball with a view to ruffling Pope's feather's. The review only serves to prolong the agony, as far as I can tell. Umpire's call of not out stands, as the ball would have had to travel and travel to meet the stumps. Babar scoops to miss a jumping ball that leaps out of his palms to grant England an additional run. After Stokes picks up a single through legside, Brook gets England to their opening century with a stupendous six that looks entirely effortless as he lifts the full delivery up and over the boundary. He attempts to get off the mark with a play down the pitch, but the strike is fielded back quickly.

“They (England players) backed me the whole day and I couldn’t ask for more. It’s the best feeling in my life." Leach then came into the act, breaking a stubborn eighth wicket stand of 48 between Salman and Nauman Ali (20).
