Pakistan Stick With Winning Formula For Rawalpindi Finale Against England

Pakistan will field an unchanged eleven for the decisive third Test against England at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, marking the first time under captain Shan Masood that the side has remained consistent across matches. The move comes in the wake of Pakistan's resounding 152-run victory in the second Test in Multan, where their triple-spin attack outmanoeuvred England. While there had been speculation about a possible change, especially after legspinner Zahid Mahmood bowled just six ineffective overs in Multan, the team's management, headed by Masood, decided to place their faith in the same lineup. An injury to fast bowler Mir Hamza, Pakistan's preferred seamer option, further solidified the decision to stick with the current squad.

England Pick Rehan Ahmed As Third Spinner For Deciding Pakistan Test

England on Tuesday picked Rehan Ahmed as a third slow bowler for the series-deciding final Test against Pakistan on a dry Rawalpindi pitch which is expected to take spin. The 20-year-old leg-spinner will form a three-pronged spin attack when the match begins Thursday alongside left-armer Jack Leach and off-break bowler Shoaib Bashir. The three-match series is level at 1-1 after England won the first Test by an innings and 47 runs in Multan. Pakistan used the same pitch for the second match which they won by 152 runs, with their spinners taking all 20 wickets.

The Pakistan vs England three-match Test series is perfectly poised at 1-1 after two matches at the Multan Cricket Stadium. The visitors won the first game by an innings and 47 runs, but Shan Masood-led Pakistan bounced back with a 152-run victory in the second game. What worked in favour of Pakistan in the second game was the fact that the pitch assisted their spinners in a great manner. Right-arm off break bowler Sajid Khan and left-arm orthodox Noman Ali accounted for all the 20 England wickets that fell in the game. As a result, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is keen to prepare another turning track for the third and deciding game of the series that is set to take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.
