On the first day of the third Test in Rawalpindi, England scored 267 runs in their initial innings, led by Jamie Smith with 89 runs.

Pakistan concluded the day at 73/3 after 23 overs, trailing by 194 runs. England’s bowlers, including Shoaib Bashir and Gus Atkinson, secured crucial early wickets, placing Pakistan in a challenging position.

The latest dismissal was Kamran Ghulam, bowled by Atkinson for just three runs off nine balls. Despite the top order’s struggles, Captain Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel remained at the crease, endeavouring to stabilize the innings.
