- Razaullah marked his Test debut with an explosive 81 that anchored Pakistan's day-three fightback at Edgbaston on Friday 11 September 2026.
- Pakistan recovered from a massive first-innings deficit to set England just 130 runs for victory in the Third Test finale.
- England need only 130 more to complete a 3-0 series sweep, but Pakistan's resilience has turned the chase into a nervously contested target.
- The match forms the third and final Test of England's home series against Pakistan, with the series outcome now hanging on Saturday's play at Edgbaston.
- The Sky Sports Cricket team described day three as "remarkable," with Pakistan's lower order dragging their side back into a match that had looked foregone after England's heavy first-innings advantage.
Why it matters: A target of 130 should be routine for an England side chasing a 3-0 sweep, yet debutant Razaullah's 81 and Pakistan's lower-order resistance on day three have given the tourists a genuine chance to force a consolation result in the series finale at Edgbaston.
