England dominates Pakistan in third Test at Edgbaston
England has taken a commanding position in the third and final Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston, moving closer to a 3-0 series whitewash. After Pakistan was bowled out for just 133 in their first innings, England responded with a massive total of 453. Key contributions included half-centuries from Harry Brook (75), Dan Lawrence (65), Jamie Smith (69), Emilio Gay (60), and Ollie Robinson (50).
Pakistan's bowling featured a standout performance from debutant Razaullah, who claimed four wickets. However, the visitors' batting struggles continued in their second innings, where they fell to 52 for 2, including early dismissals of Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique by Ollie Robinson.
At the close of play on the second day, rain interrupted the match, leaving Pakistan trailing by 268 runs. The match is part of the ICC World Test Championship. Pakistan has undergone significant squad changes following previous losses in the series, including the dismissal of their head coach.
