Pakistan vs England 3rd Test 2024 live stream: How to watch cricket online from Rawalpindi, start time

Pakistan vs England 3rd Test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi has become the decider of this fascinating three-match series.

Saturday’s play could decide this series. England enter it trailing by 57 runs with 7 wickets remaining. They need at least one big partnership, and quite possibly two, to set Pakistan a fourth innings to test the hosts.

After England won the First Test by an innings on a flat track, Pakistan changed their tactics with regard to pitch preparation and went for a turning pitch in the Second Test and packed their side with spin bowlers. Pakistan only bowled six overs of seam in the Second Test, and two of their spinners, Sajid Khan and Noman Ali, shared all 20 wickets between them. In England’s second innings this pair were the only bowlers used.

England in the Bazball era flourish on pitches good for batting, their scoring rate pulverizing opponents, but struggle on turning pitches. Pakistan are desperately trying to create another turning surface at Rawalpindi by drying out the wicket using patio heaters, industrial fans and wind breaks.

However, pitches here have traditionally not spun much and have been batting paradises. In the past five years in test matches at Rawalpindi, seamers have bowled 56% of the overs and taken 64% of the wickets. It was here that the opening test of the series two years ago was played, when England stormed to 506-4 off 75 overs on the first day.
