Shafique reviewed unsuccessfully, the ball predicted to clip leg stump by ball-tracking. The umpires were unclear if the ball had carried, with an soft signal of 'not out', but Marais Erasmus overturned the on-field decision.

Pakistan will pin hopes on likes of Babar, Imam ul Haq, Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan to come good in the third and last Test and take the home side to victory to salvage some pride in the end. Not to forget, Pakistan had a great chance of making it 1-1 in the three-match series in Multan but they faltered at the very end in the chase to lose the match and eventually the series. The Bazball brand of cricket has come to the fore as England have looked to play aggressive cricket, trying to press for win, on the lifeless tracks of Pakistan, which have been slammed by the fans in the country.

Over-by-over report: Can England lay a platform for a series clean sweep against Pakistan? Find out with our writers.

Agha turned Rehan into the leg side and set off for a single, with Babar reluctantly accepting the call. He signals his plan by setting a 3/6 field, and confirms it by ramming the first ball into the middle of the pitch. Shakeel didn’t slap a full toss to midwicket; he was unsettled by the googly and then pushed nervously at the next ball. Agha comes down the track to crunch a couple into the leg side, the only runs from the over. 62nd over: Pakistan 224-6 (Agha 12, Faheem 0) Faheem survives an appeal for a catch down the leg side off Leach. Nauman pushed at a delivery that turned down the leg side, with Foakes clasping the ball at the second attempt. Agha is surprised by a short ball that follows him and rams into first the collarbone and then the (unprotected) side of the neck. There’s a break in play while he has a concussion test, so the umpires have called for drinks. 69th over: Pakistan 250-7 (Agha 26, Nauman 8) A short ball from Rehan is savaged for four by Agha, an excellent shot. 70th over: Pakistan 257-7 (Agha 31, Nauman 10) Agha sweeps Leach firmly round the corner for four more. Duckett missed a sweep and was hit on the side in front of off and middle stump. 76th over: Pakistan 286-8 (Agha 50, Wasim 0) With the tail finally exposed, Mark Wood returns to the attack.

By Nick Hoult, in Karachi. “We are at the start of something,” said Ben Stokes as he confirmed Rehan Ahmed's debut as England's youngest ever Test cricketer ...

After Faheem’s dismissal, Agha Salman and Nuaman Ali started to take the day away from England with a 48 run stand for the eighth wicket but Leach came back and finished it off with three in four overs. With a better rhythm to his bowling he was effective and Pakistan struggled to pick the googly. In five overs he took one for 19, the maiden wicket of Shakeel was one to remember. Foakes gathered the ball but as he did so he flicked a bail off with his glove. A hug and kiss from his dad was followed by warm applause from the small contingent of England fans who recognised this moment of history. Mohammad Rizwan, their second most likely batsman to make a big score, pulled a full toss to midwicket as Pakistan faltered in the face of aggressive fields, some short pitched quick stuff which knocked over two of the top three and positive captaincy matched with good fielding on a flat pitch.

Four wickets from Jack Leach and an excellent performance from debutant Rehan Ahmed saw England bowl out Pakistan for 304 on day one of the third Test, ...

The pair took Pakistan to the cusp of lunch before Azhar gloved a leg-side delivery from Robinson through to Ben Foakes to leave the score at 117 for three. Then Agha Salman would run-out his captain Babar for 78 after a fantastic one-handed pick up from Foakes where in one motion he claimed Brook’s throw on the bounce and then removed the bails. First Stokes took a skier to dismiss Nauman Ali for a brisk 20, before Salman was comprehensively stumped and No11 Abrar Ahmed clean bowled as Pakistan finished on 304 all out. The ball looked to be falling painfully out of the reach of fielder Harry Brook, but stationed at short leg he dived forward one-handed and plucked the ball off the turf before all 10 of the England team swarmed Ahmed in celebration. Not long after, Leach would be in the thick of the action again. His first five overs went for 35 runs as Azhar Ali and Babar Azam punished any waverings of length from the teenager.

Pakistan hit back early through spinner Abrar Ahmed, who claimed Zak Crawley leg before wicket without scoring in his first over.

Azhar, who announced his retirement from test cricket on Friday, was snapped up by Foakes and the television replays confirmed it was a clean catch as Pakistan reached 117-3. Pakistan hit back early through spinner Abrar Ahmed, who claimed Zak Crawley leg before wicket without scoring in his first over, and England finished the opening day at 7-1. Azhar, playing in his 97th test, replaced all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz. Leach had Salman stumped off a delivery, which spun sharply away from the right-hander before wrapping up the innings. Leach had earlier struck in his second over when he had Abdullah Shafique trapped lbw for 8 in his third over with a new ball that skidded off the wicket and hit the batter on the front pad. England, looking for a rare 3-0 clean sweep in its first test tour to Pakistan in 17 years, had made early inroads after Babar won his first toss in the series and chose to bat.

He can pick up a single before Duckett does the same, before Pope rounds up the over with a couple more that gets the fielders running. The England debutant reacted after taking 2-89 stating "I think I rushed a little bit in my first spell but it came out better than I expected. Pope picks off Wasim's muddled line to smack the ball through legside, streaking past the fielder on square to kiss the boundary for four. Agha Salman and Babar Azam both passed half-centuries for Pakistan but you sense their score looks below par on such a flat surface, however the pitch did seem to offer more turn as the day progressed with Jack Leach completing figures of 4-140. Duckett nets England their opening half-century in style, with a sweet strike that floats over the boundary at the sightscreen for six, picking off Abrar's delivery with a gentle lift. Pope rounds off with a couple with a strike that glances behind. Abrar sends in a quickening ball with a view to ruffling Pope's feather's. The review only serves to prolong the agony, as far as I can tell. Umpire's call of not out stands, as the ball would have had to travel and travel to meet the stumps. Babar scoops to miss a jumping ball that leaps out of his palms to grant England an additional run. After Stokes picks up a single through legside, Brook gets England to their opening century with a stupendous six that looks entirely effortless as he lifts the full delivery up and over the boundary. He attempts to get off the mark with a play down the pitch, but the strike is fielded back quickly.

It’s the best feeling in my life.” Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. “It was a very impressive performance considering it was his first game. Leach becomes the first spinner to open the attack in a Test for England in 101 years — Jack White did the same against Australia at Leeds in 1921. He is a young chap and he has a lot of potential and looks a very good prospect for the England team.” In the morning session, Pakistan lost Abdullah Shafique (eight), Shan Masood (30) and Azhar Ali (40) before Azam and Shakeel looked to have steadied the innings with a 45-run fourth wicket stand. Sensing the pitch would take spin, England started the attack with Leach, who trapped Shafique leg-before in the sixth over of the day. But the start of the day belonged to Ahmed — who at 18 years and 126 days old became the youngest England player to start a Test — when he dismissed Saud Shakeel for 23 in his seventh over. Ahmed, who was presented with his Test cap in front of his Pakistan-born father Naeem by former England skipper Nasser Hussain, described the scene as “the best moment”.

Spinners to the fore on slow surface as Pakistan fail to capitalise on winning the toss.

Pakistan reviewed the final ball of the day, an Abrar googly which struck Duckett on the body as he got down to sweep, but ball-tracking technology confirmed it had pitched outside his leg stump. Ollie Robinson bowled only three overs in his first spell before leaving the field for the best part of an hour with an upset stomach, but returned shortly before lunch to make the crucial breakthrough. Harry Brook's throw was slightly wayward, but Foakes reacted sharply and whipped off the bails with Babar just short of his ground. Shan Masood, playing his first Test match since January 2021 after two seasons of prolific all-format run-making in domestic cricket, was positive early on, using his feet and twice hitting boundaries down the ground for four in Leach's first over, but fell for a 37-ball 30, having earlier survived a close lbw shout on review while reverse-sweeping. After a nervy start before lunch, he found his length in the second session and finished the day with 2 for 89 in 22 overs. There was just enough on offer for their spinners to suggest that batting last may prove to be a challenge, but the only balls that misbehaved were ones that died from short of a length.
