England vs Pakistan 3rd Test match day 1 2026 full highlights
Transcript
00:05Some chaotic upheaval in the last week or so with seven players and two coaches sent home.
00:14Don't think so. Oh, he's given him. Now, he might review this.
00:24Lovely. Terrific start. Overpitch by Archer.
00:35Giving him again. And he's reviewed it immediately again.
00:41A ten ball stay that was a difficult one. And that looked out, didn't it?
00:46Beating him on the inside edge. And that is a hundredth test wicket for Ollie Robinson.
00:54He's having a fantastic summer. Great delight for him. And he becomes the first England bowler since Ian Botham to
01:02get.
01:06Love it. Even better than that first cover driver. So elegant.
01:15Oh, no. Down it goes. I think it carried. Duck it at first slip.
01:23Oh, he's chipped this in the air. Can't believe it. It's a good catch, actually.
01:29After working hard with the ball swinging outside the off stump, it's almost as if it's stuck in the pitch
01:34a little bit.
01:34And he's picked out the only fielder on the leg side. It's not on the boundary.
01:39There is a fine leg with a wide mid on.
01:44Edged and through the gap. There's three slips and two gullies. And it went right between them.
01:54Now, as that carried, it has. Low catch. Diving to his left. Dan Lawrence.
02:00England have put one down. The second chance they've grabbed.
02:04Have lost their third. Once again, Oli Robinson.
02:08Great catch in the slipcord. And Dan Lawrence traveling to him.
02:12Lower down to his left. And Abdullah Shafiq.
02:18With three on the board.
02:23In the air. The easiest of chances.
02:29Robinson took it away from him.
02:32The second side edge will bring Pakistan's catch in a boundary.
02:42Edge. Down.
02:44Went quickly.
02:46That's the second catch that Duckett has put down.
02:48The first one.
02:53Beautiful shot.
02:54And he doesn't even watch it go to the fence.
02:59Bowling.
03:01Owen Morgan highlighting the line and length that Josh Tong needs to bowl to attack Barbara Asim.
03:07Well, he's found his radar.
03:11Outstanding bowling from Josh Tong.
03:13Good line. Good length.
03:15Top of off.
03:17It's one thing having a plan.
03:19Another executing it.
03:25Brilliant from England.
03:26Brilliant for Tong.
03:28Face Gus Atkinson.
03:31Beautiful.
03:32He's cover driving at Lourdes and on a couple of occasions here at Edgbaston has been exquisite.
03:42Oh, he gets away with that.
03:43That was out of control.
03:50Another thunderous cover drive.
03:52Again, not massive foot movement, but weight transfer and a straight blade for the first ball in test cricket.
04:02And he's up and away.
04:04What a way to get off the mark.
04:06Slightly short from Josh Tong.
04:08A little bit of width and he's uppercutting for four.
04:14Well, that's close.
04:15I think umpire Gaffney is thinking it's sliding down the leg side.
04:21Original decision is not out.
04:23Pitching outside off.
04:24Impact in line.
04:25And wickets hitting.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Well, usually for umpire Chris Gaffney.
04:30He got one wrong earlier on in the day.
04:32He got that one spot.
04:36That's hitting in front.
04:37And umpire Gaffney immediately raises the finger.
04:46Another sumptuous cover drive from Sal Chakil.
04:51Just defeat Josh Tong running around from the sweeper position.
04:59Sal Chakil flays it through gully again.
05:05Brandon McCollum was the coach.
05:08And I think he'll be as equally challenging once he's in the dressing room as well.
05:17Well, that'll do it.
05:19Another stump broken by Josh Tong.
05:22Another lower order batter finding him too hot to handle.
05:27And with nine minutes to go before lunch.
05:31Pakistan in peril of not making it.
05:3484 for seven.
05:37Terrific delivery.
05:40Full fast.
05:41Right in at the base of off stump.
05:47Pakistan crumbling here on the opening morning of this final test at Edgbaston.
05:52We've only had 20 overs and four ball.
06:00Swung away.
06:00Not quite out of the middle.
06:03But a bit of intent.
06:05And a good old fashioned swipe into the leg side from Rasula.
06:12Edged.
06:13Gone.
06:14No mistake this time from Duckett.
06:16He's put a couple down but third time lucky.
06:23Nicely placed.
06:24Nicely timed.
06:27And Sal Chakil gets his first boundary after lunch.
06:33Gone.
06:34Through him.
06:35Excellent from Tong.
06:38And Sal Chakil.
06:39Who was fighting a lone hand but even he has to go.
06:43Today Sal Chakil.
06:45This looks an absolute beauty.
06:47Wobbleseam nips back.
06:49Top of off.
06:52Outstanding yet again from Josh Tong.
07:01Not a great deal you can do about that.
07:07Absolutely drilled.
07:08Now no Sal Chakil at the other end.
07:10Mohamed Abbas is going to play some shots.
07:20More runs for Mohamed Abbas.
07:23Who just stays a little leg side of the ball.
07:25And that allows him to guide it away.
07:27Past Gully.
07:35Nicely done.
07:36Tong just a little too straight.
07:42And runs.
07:43More runs.
07:44Off the outside edge.
07:46All the way down to third man this time.
07:52And finally.
07:54Pakistan's miserable innings comes to a close.
08:00For 133.
08:02In just over a session's worth of overs.
08:0633.5 overs on a blameless pitch.
08:11Thoroughly miserable batting performance from them.
08:18Not in complete control.
08:20But Duckett will pick up his first four.
08:29Cut away nicely.
08:31Quick outfield.
08:33So your second boundary for Ben Duckett.
08:35That one far more convincing.
08:37So put the bowler under pressure.
08:41Edged.
08:42Gone.
08:43That is what Stuart Broad was talking about.
08:47Duckett looking to flay that through the covers.
08:50As edge to slip.
08:51And the captain has taken a good catch.
08:56Big shot.
08:57Big shot.
08:58Has he got a nick on it?
08:59Yes.
09:00The finger goes up.
09:02From Rifle.
09:04Who had a long think about it.
09:06Cox is now thinking about it.
09:09Original decision is out.
09:12Pitching outside off.
09:13Impact in line.
09:14And wickets hitting.
09:17Yeah.
09:18Paul Rifle will put the finger up for the second time.
09:22Absolutely right.
09:23Live.
09:28Harmlessly through to the debutante Gazi Gori.
09:32And that will be T on day one.
09:35Joe Root not out.
09:42Beautiful.
09:44Beautifully put away through the fence by Emilio Gay.
09:52Close.
09:53Is that close enough?
09:54Man given.
09:55What a start to his career.
09:57And what a start for Pakistan.
10:01Satisfied.
10:01There's no bet involved.
10:02Can we go to ball tracking when ready?
10:05Original decision is out.
10:07Pitching outside off.
10:09Impact in line.
10:10Chris you can stay with your decision.
10:12A child of dream realized.
10:1421 year old Raza Ola.
10:16There is confirmation.
10:18What a start.
10:22Nice to play.
10:24Just starting to tire a little.
10:27Here's Mohamed Abbas.
10:36Timing in the extreme from Brook.
10:46Four.
10:47Takes Harry Brook.
10:49To a thousand runs against Pakistan in just 14 innings.
10:57Gets it through.
10:59He's had one or two goes at that square cut.
11:05Wait.
11:08Yeah, he gets that one through as well.
11:10It's really nicely played.
11:11Just lent into the drive.
11:19Creamed.
11:20Back with a point.
11:26Take four there as well.
11:29Over correction for Mohamed Ali.
11:3150 partnership comes up between Gay and Brook.
11:38Does play some stylish drives.
11:40Particularly through cover and cover point.
11:42There's another one.
11:46Well, he ain't in play for that delivery.
11:49Because that is a long half volley on leg stump.
11:51Which has been beautifully put away by Emilio Gay.
11:59Nicely guided.
12:01Top of the bounce.
12:04Deliberately played in the gap for four.
12:10Nicely cut away.
12:11In front of square.
12:14And a miss field.
12:16And will bring four to England.
12:19And an important four.
12:20For Emilio Gay.
12:21Brings up his 50.
12:22His third test match 50.
12:28Clipped nicely.
12:29And the extra pace onto the bat.
12:32Means extra pace off the bat.
12:37Dragged on.
12:39He deserved that.
12:40Passed the inside edge.
12:41The previous delivery.
12:43Inside edge.
12:44On to the stumps.
12:45He has too.
12:46He has had an impact today.
12:50Similar wrangle.
12:51Similar delivery.
12:52This time the drag on from Emilio Gay.
12:55Much needed breakthrough for Pakistan.
12:58Has come from one of the most inspiring characters on the field.
13:04Fist pump.
13:08Short ball.
13:10Flipped.
13:11And it will be the single that takes Harry Brook.
13:14To another half century.
13:21And behind it.
13:22Good block from Harry Brook.
13:26Another eventful day.
13:28Of test match cricket.
13:29Another day where the game has progressed.
13:31And progressed quickly.
