Pakistan in deep trouble 60 for 5 as star Babar Azam also go early against England

Pakistan suffered another dramatic batting collapse on the opening day of the third Test against England at Edgbaston, slumping to 60 for five. Star batter Babar Azam failed to steady the innings, falling for just seven runs off 15 deliveries as England’s bowlers continued to expose Pakistan’s fragile top order.

The latest collapse adds to a disastrous Test tour for Pakistan, who suffered heavy defeats in the opening two matches at Headingley and Lord’s. The disappointing results have already triggered major upheaval within the team, with several squad members and coaching staff facing sweeping changes. With five wickets down for just 60 runs, Pakistan now face another uphill battle to stay competitive in the series.
