ENG vs PAK 3rd Test Live Score - Birmingham (09 September 2026)

Stays a bit low from a good length as Robinson challenges the front pad. Azan Awais hangs back and stabs it back to the bowler.

A fractionally full, outside off, shaping away late. Azan Awais leans forward to defend, but gets a fat outside edge. But he plays with soft hands and hence the ball goes to ground and rolls to the first slip fielder. Where, Root? is stationed.

Good length, outside off, Azan Awais is forced to play at it because of the angle created by Ollie. But the ball nips away and beats his outside edge.

Fuller and straighter now, Azan Awais keeps it out to the point region.

 Beauty! Hits the length hard, just outside off. Azan Awais tries to defend it down but his bat is nowhere close to the line of the ball and Jamie Smith nestles the ball nicely in his gloves.

At 125 kph, outside off, on a good length. Azan camps back and loosely hangs his bat away from his body, only to get beaten again.

Cannons one on a fullish length and the ball curves in sharply on the pads. Abdullah misses the flick and the ball strikes his front pad hard before rolling to short fine leg. They get a leg bye.

EDGED AND DROPPED! Ben Duckett puts it down. Archer has his head down and turns back to his mark. Maybe, maybe he is standing a fraction too deep as there is not much pace in this pitch. Seaming away from a fuller length, outside off, Azan Awais looks to drive it to the off side, but the ball catches the outside edge and dips in front of Ben Duckett. He dives to his right but cannot wrap his fingers under the ball and it pops out and drops down.

Springs off the surface, outside off, on a length. Let through.

On a length, outside off, left alone by Awais.

OUT! CHIPPED TO TONGUE! A soft, soft dismissal for Awais. Quite unusual for an opener to get dismissed in this fashion. Good-length delivery that spits up a bit from the surface, on middle and leg. Azan Awais tries to nudge that into the leg side, but the ball seemingly holds on the surface and arrives a fraction late. End result? Awais already goes through his shot and the ball gets chipped towards short mid-wicket. Josh Tongue dives forward and scoops the ball nice and clean to send Awais packing. The smile is back on Jofra Archer's face after Ben Duckett's dropped catch a couple of balls ago. Pakistan have slipped down to 14/2.

A mild appeal for LBW, but not given. Full ball, angling in and around leg stump. Masood goes for the flick, misses it completely, and the ball squirts off his front pad down to deep fine leg. The batters scamper back for the second. Signalled as leg byes. England do not review it, so perhaps it is sliding down leg.

Pitches it fuller, does Robinson, just outside off, Abdullah Shafique gets on his front foot to defend, but gets the outside edge before it rolls wide of the gully fielder. Two runs taken and Shafique is off the mark.

Just a shade behind the good length, angling in, around middle and leg. Abdullah Shafique misses his flick and gets thumped on his front pad. 

Back of a length, just outside off, Shafique hangs back and defends it right under his eyes.  

Ollie pushes his length fuller again, attacking the middle stump. Abdullah Shafique works it to square leg. 

Just beating the outside edge! Slightly behind the good length, pitching it outside off, angling in, but nipping it away as well. Abdullah Fazal prods halfway and looks to defend it down, but it whiskers past the outside edge. 

That's one of the bravest leaves one has seen of late. On a nagging length, outside off, Abdullah Shafique lunges to cover his stumps and lifts his willow up to let it travel to the keeper. It passes scarily close to the off pole and the English players have hands on their heads.

FOUR! Streaky! Good-length delivery, pitching it outside off, slanting in, but seams it just a bit away. Shan Masood presses forward to block it with soft hands, but it takes the outside edge and dribbles away into the gap between slip cordon and gully for four runs. 

On a length, outside off, Shan Masood clips it to square leg for one.

Good length, outside off, Abdullah Shafique leaves it alone. 

Just behind the fuller length, outside off, not much movement on this one. Abdullah Fazal lunges forward and hangs his willow in the air, offering no shot at it.

Back of a length, over off, Abdullah Shafique hops a bit and tucks it to mid-wicket to get across. 

Good leave! Swinging it away from the left-hander, on the fuller side, outside off. Shan Masood shoulders arms at it. 

Hard-length delivery, angling in, on middle. Abdullah Shafique nudges it to mid-wicket.

OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Number 2 for Robinson and he just keeps improving his credentials in the longest format. Full in length, angled in from off, Abdullah Shafique is forced to play at it. Tries to push it straight, but his bat comes down at an awkward angle. That's inviting trouble, like stepping yourself onto a minefield. Ekes a fat outside edge and it flies flat to gully. Dan Lawrence is standing nice and low and snaps a fine catch. Pakistan slide down further and are 24/3.

Fuller in length, way outside off. Babar Azam lunges to dab it late to slip. 

Good-length delivery, outside off, Babar Azam looks to defend the inside line and gets beaten on the outside edge. 

Nagging length, shaping in, on off and middle. Babar Azam rolls his wrists and flicks it through backward sqaure leg for a brace. 

Pitches it up, on off, nipping in. Babar Azam strides out and dead-bats it down the deck. 

No run, the batter lets the ball go outside off stump.
