Those included a thick outside edge for four from Babar, slashing at a wide legbreak, but the rest came when Ahmed erred too full or short in his first spell. 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 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.
England dismissed Pakistan for 304 on the first day of the third and final Test. The home side skipper Babar Azam and Agha Salman scored defiant half-centuries.
England then went on the attack and 18-year-old debutant all-rounder Rehan Ahmed — who became their youngest men’s Test cricketer — had Saud Shakeel caught for 23 for his maiden wicket. Spinner Jack Leach (4-140) first removed Abdullah Shafique with the new ball and took the catch that sent back Shan Masood off the bowling of paceman Mark Wood to leave Pakistan at 46-2 inside 13 overs, before Azhar Ali steadied the ship. Pakistan, who have already lost the series with defeats in Rawalpindi and Multan, won the toss and opted to bat first on another flat track.

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”. England lead the three-match series 2-0 after winning the first Test by 74 runs in Rawalpindi and the second in Multan by 26 runs.
