Pakistan, eccentric as ever, send home seven players and the head coach and assistant and call up seven new players for the third Test and appoint a new coach.

Imam ul Haq who decided not to bat because of a slight calf issue in the second Test is unsurprisingly one of the dropped players.

Ramiz Raja said it’s like football, sacking your manager halfway through the season. It’s more like sacking your manager halfway through the Cup Final!!

Third Test.

England win the toss and bowl. Pakistan are 26/4, it's not even a contest.

Funny how a ton of chaos hasn't led to an improvement in this Pakistan team.
Good bowling conditions but this is tragic.

Ollie Robinson's test bowling average is just over 19 now. It's making the ECB's decision not to select him for a few years due to having an influencer for a wife and not bowling at 90mph look a bit silly right now.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

48/5. The next three Pakistani batsmen are all making their debut.

Will it be all over by lunch on Friday?
