3 player battles to watch out for in ENG vs PAK 3rd Test
England lead the series 2–0 heading into the final Test at Edgbaston from September 9.
Joe Root vs Mohammad Abbas
Joe Root has accumulated 94 runs in the two completed Tests of the series, but the England batter has struggled to find his rhythm throughout the summer. The England captain has repeatedly been dismissed leg before wicket, with the Dukes ball becoming a talking point around his struggles. However, the manufacturer of the Dukes ball has denied that there has been any significant change to its production or characteristics.
Pakistan pacer Mohammad Abbas has emerged as one of the biggest threats to Root in the series. Abbas is Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker across the two completed Tests, having claimed 10 wickets. He also dismissed Root in the second Test, trapping the England captain LBW.
