Pakistan's Historic Series Sweep Within Reach on Final Day of Thrilling First Test
England on Cusp of Victory, Needing 55 Runs with Eight Wickets Remaining
Pakistan Set England Target of 167; Anderson Shines with Early Strike
As the highly anticipated first Test between Pakistan and England draws to a nail-biting conclusion, Pakistan's historic 3-0 series sweep hangs in the balance. England, needing just 55 runs with eight wickets remaining, is poised to claim victory on the final day of the match.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan was dismissed for 217, setting England a target of 167. England's openers, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, provided a solid start to the chase, putting on a partnership of 53 runs. However, Pakistan's premier fast bowler, James Anderson, struck an early blow, dismissing Imam-ul-Haq for a duck, leaving England at 53-1.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam showed his class with a gritty half-century, but his dismissal brought England back into the game. Anderson has been in impressive form throughout the series, and his early strike could prove crucial in England's quest for victory.
