Pakistan vs England, 3rd Test: Pakistan cricket team bowled out England for 267 runs in the first innings on the first day of the Rawalpindi Test match on the basis of Sajid Ali's excellent bowling. Sajid Ali took 6 wickets for Pakistan in the innings. Apart from Sajid, Noman Ali also took 3 wickets.

With the help of Sajid Ali's excellent spin bowling, Pakistan bowled out England for 267 runs on the first day of the Rawalpindi Test match. In the match, England's team decided to bat first after winning the toss. On the Rawalpindi pitch, which is conducive for batting, Pakistan kept spin bowlers on both ends from the very beginning.

This is the reason why England's batsmen did not get a chance to open their hands. Although England had a great start in the match, but the Pakistani team also managed to make a strong comeback on the strength of its bowlers. When Pakistan's spinner Sajid Ali celebrates with a twist on his moustache and a rhythmic beat, it reminds us of former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan. Shikhar Dhawan was the first to start celebrating in this way.

After this, many players copied Dhawan's style. Now the Pakistani spinner is also in the news for his style of clapping. Sajid is currently playing for Pakistan in the ongoing Test series against England and in Rawalpindi, he did wonders with his bowling.

The England team had decided to bat first after winning the toss in the Rawalpindi Test match. However, the visiting team did not perform as expected in batting after the toss. Sajid Ali played a wonderful game for Pakistan. Apart from this, Noman Ali also used his spin magic from Pakistan.

Together with Sajid, Noman dismissed three England batsmen for 88 runs in 28 overs. For England, wicketkeeper batsman Jamie Smith played a strong innings of 89 runs in 119 balls, batting brilliantly in the middle order. Apart from Jamie Smith, opener batsman Ben Duckett also contributed 52 runs.

Apart from this, Gus Atkinson also made an important contribution of 39 runs in the end. Pakistan's condition has worsened in the Rawalpindi Test match against England. The Pakistani team has lost three wickets in response to England's 267 runs. By the end of the day's play, the Pakistani team has scored 73 runs in 23 overs. In such a situation, they are still 194 runs behind England.
