ENG vs PAK, 3rd Test, Day 1, Stumps: Harry Brook's fifty takes England to 23-run lead

England move to 148/4 after 35.1 overs and lead Pakistan’s 133 by 15.

Harry Brook is 48 not out off 60 balls. Dan Lawrence joins him on 2 off 2 after Emilio Gay’s dismissal. Current run rate is 4.21 as the third session continues at Edgbaston.

Debutant Razaullah knocks over Emilio Gay for 60 and ends a 104-run partnership with Harry Brook.

Gay looks to drive a full 144kph delivery from round the wicket and inside-edges onto his stumps. He makes a patient fifty off 114 balls with nine fours, but falls after being beaten on the previous ball.

England slip to 143/4 in 33.4 overs and now lead Pakistan’s 133 by 10. Razaullah has two wickets on debut and is pumped. Brook remains unbeaten.

England move to 104/3 after 25 overs and trail Pakistan’s 133 by just 29 runs.

Emilio Gay is 37 not out off 77 balls with six fours. Harry Brook is 36 off 36 at a run a ball. The fourth-wicket stand keeps growing in the third session at Edgbaston.

No further wickets fall as England close in on Pakistan’s total. Current run rate sits at 4.16.

England sit 82/3 after 20 overs, trailing Pakistan’s 133 by 51.

Harry Brook is 26 not out off 24 balls and scoring freely. Emilio Gay is 27 off 58, grinding it out at the other end. The pair rebuild after Joe Root’s lbw dismissal leaves England 39/3.

OUTTT!!!! Two wickets for Pakistan in quick succession. Mohammad Abbas traps Jordan Cox for just 4. Razaullah gets his maiden Test wicket in his first over in international cricket and that too of England captain Joe Root. England are also in the backfoot. ENG 41/3

OUTTT!!!! England lose their first wicket. Ben Duckett is caught by Babar Azam off Mohammad Ali. Emilio Gay, and Jordan Cox are batting in the middle. Also it is a great opportunity for both the batters to score big against an inexperienced bowling attack. ENG 20/1

Pakistan all out for 133 in the first innings. After going to lunch at 100/7, Jofra Archer, Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue shared one wicket each. While Archer and Robinson finished with three wickets each, Tongue took four.

OUTTT!!! Another wicket goes down for Pakistan. Josh Tongue cleans up Mohammad Imran Randhawa as Pakistan lose seven wickets with just 91 runs on board. Another embarrassment incoming for Pakistan.

White-ball coach Mike Hesson drafted in to oversee a Test side that has now lost 15 of its past 20 matches. Among the players called in as replacements were five uncapped players. In the third Test, Pakistan made four changes, with wicketkeeper Ghazi Ghori, all-rounder Mohammad Imran Randhawa and seamer Razaullah all given debuts. Saim Ayub replaced Iman-ul-Haq after the opener was unable to bat in either innings at Lord's because of a calf strain.

It seems like off-field problems go in sync with Pakistan cricket team. After their loss at Lord's, the PCB axed as many as seven cricketers, including Alman Ali Agha, who led the side in the first game in the absence of Babar Azam. Not just the players, Test head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul were also sent home.

There is no way Pakistan can come out of this. After losing four wickets with just 26 runs on board, Pakistan lose debutant Ghazi Ghori and Babar Azam in quick succession. Saud Shakeel is still in the middle. PAK 64/6

Pakistan: Azan Awais, Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood, Babar Azam (captain), Saud Shakeel, Ghazi Ghori, Imran Randhawa, Razaullah Khan, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Abbas.

England: Ben Duckett, Emilio Gay, Jordan Cox, Joe Root (captain), Harry Brook, Dan Lawrence, Jamie Smith, Ollie Robinson, Gus Atkinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue.

Pakistan's crisis further deepens as Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson struck again. Abdullah Shafiqueis caught by Dan Lawrence off Robinson, while Archer forces Shan Masood to hit straight at substitute fielder Sam Cook. "Pakistan collapsing on a flat pitch," says Nasser Hussain on air. PAK 26/4

Having opted to bowl first, Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson have already put the home side on top with a wicket each. While Archer got better of Azan Awais, caught by Josh Tongue, Robinson traps Saim Ayub in front. Ayub is Robinson's 100th Test wicket.
