Teenage sensation Rehan Ahmed said taking five wickets on his test debut was a "dream come true" after his heroics left England on the brink of victory in the third test against Pakistan and a record clean sweep.Ahmed dismissed Pakistan captain Babar Azam and key player Mohammad Rizwan among others as his spin bowling proved to be the game-changer for England on day three.

The 18-year-old became the youngest debutant in men's test history to take five wickets in a single inning, beating the previous record held by Australia's Pat Cummins."It was probably the best day of my life again.

To get a five-for on debut is a dream come true," Ahmed told the BBC."I have bowled better balls and not got wickets. To get Babar Azam out is a dream come true.

He is a very good player."I liked the Rizwan wicket because I have been working hard on my leg-spin for the last two months with bowling coach Jeetan Patel.
