Pakistan opened the innings with Saim Ayub and Azan Owais, but Saim was dismissed without scoring a run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azan Owais also failed to make a significant contribution and was sent back after scoring just nine runs. Abdullah Shafique then fell for three runs to Robinson, further increasing the pressure on Pakistan&#8217;s batting lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan suffered another setback when captain Shan Masood was dismissed by Archer, leaving the visitors four wickets down for only 26 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three Pakistani players are making their Test debuts in the match. Ghazi Ghori, Razaullah and Imran Randhawa have been included in the playing XI for the final Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saud Shakeel presented the Test cap to Ghazi Ghori, while Mohammad Abbas handed the cap to Razaullah and Babar Azam presented the Test cap to Imran Randhawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">England already have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series.
