Pakistan (PAK) will take on England (ENG) in the third Test of the series on Thursday, October 24, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, in Rawalpindi.

England won the first Test in a dominating manner, while Pakistan came back strongly after making hard decisions to drop their star players. Thus, the hosts would like to continue their winning momentum in this match and win the Test series. On the other hand, England would like to make a comeback to winning ways after a very good effort in the first match, which they were able to trouble Pakistan. Thus, England would like to grab a win and level the series by 2-1.

Speaking about the last match of Pakistan, In the first Innings, debutant Kamran Ghulam 118 (224) played a magnificent Innings after coming in as a replacement for Babar Azam in the Playing XI. As a result, his scintillating knock helped Pakistan post a decent total of 366 runs. In the second Innings, Agha Salman 63(89) produced a vital knock under pressure. He stitched a crucial partnership of 65 for the 9th wicket which guided Pakistan to set a decent target of 297.

When it comes to bowling, in the first Innings, spinner Sajid Khan (7/111) bowled superbly as a result England got bundled out for 291. In the fourth innings, another willy spinner Noman Ali (8/46) claimed an eight-wicket haul to decimate England on just 144 runs. Consequently, Pakistan won the game by a huge margin of 152 Runs. Henceforth, the host will aim to continue their winning rhythm in a bid to claim the Test series ahead.

Speaking about England's batting in the previous game, opener Ben Duckett 114 (129) slammed a quick century but he didn't get enough support from other batters. This meant that the visitors managed to post a total of 291. They had a very poor outing with the bat in the second innings while chasing a stiff target. They fell like a deck of cards due to some brilliant spin bowling.

Among notable bowling performances for the visitors, spinner Jack Leach (4/114) bowled beautifully. In the third innings, youngster Shoaib Bashir (4/66) took a four-wicket haul, thereby restricting Pakistan to 221. Hence, taking some positives out of these performances, England will hope to go all out in a bid to claim the Test series.
