Pakistan all out for 133 in third Test vs England after squad changes

What the report says

Pakistan’s troubled tour of England took another setback on Wednesday, when they were dismissed for 133 in the first innings of the third Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham, according to Al Jazeera. England’s pace attack dominated the morning session after the hosts chose to bowl first on an overcast day. Pakistan’s top five batters were removed for single-digit scores, a rare and unwanted record highlighted by the report, and the side slipped to 48-5 before captain Babar Azam fell in the 15th over.

The visitors made four changes to their lineup, including three debutants, after being outplayed in the first two Tests and facing criticism over team decisions. Al Jazeera reported that Pakistan had already sent home seven players and removed head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and assistant Umar Gul following the heavy defeat at Lord’s. England had earlier won the opening Test at Headingley by an innings and 103 runs, leaving the home side 2-0 ahead in the series.

Saud Shakeel top-scored for Pakistan with 43, while Mohammad Abbas added 21 lower down the order. England’s fast bowlers shared the wickets, led by Josh Tongue with 4-42, while Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer took three apiece. The collapse matters because it underlines Pakistan’s batting instability and England’s command of the series in conditions that favored pace bowling.
