As the third Test began in Rawalpindi, England won the toss and opted to bat, which initially worked in their favor. Openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley gave a solid start, reaching 54/0 in 13 overs. However, the momentum shifted when Noman Ali dismissed Crawley, sparking England’s collapse. Sajid Khan then piled on the pressure, removing Ollie Pope and Joe Root in quick succession, leaving the visitors in a precarious position. As Harry Brook and Ben Duckett batted, Mohammad Rizwan cheekily taunted Brook about England’s “Bazball” approach
With Pakistan’s spinners maintaining pressure, Noman Ali was set to bowl the 21st over. On the fourth ball, Ali delivered a flatter ball on the middle stump, which kept low. Brook cautiously knocked it back to Ali and, while adjusting his gloves, the stump mic caught Rizwan quipping, “No more Bazball.” The comment hinted that England’s aggressive style had been stifled by Pakistan’s spin attack. The light-hearted moment quickly caught the attention of social media, with Twitter users sharing a laugh over Rizwan’s playful jab.

This partnership is dangerous. If these two take England over the mark of 200 then Pakistan needs to start worrying.#PAKvsENG
