Pakistan debutant Razaullah Khan removed England captain Joe Root lbw for eight in his very first over, leaving England 39-3 in their first innings of the third and final Test at Edgbaston. The wicket came early and decisively, with Razaullah celebrating a perfect introduction to Test cricket. The report comes via BBC Sport. Razaullah’s strike broke the promising start England had made and immediately shifted momentum to the visitors. England’s top order now faces a fresh challenge as they try to rebuild from three quick wickets.
