Pakistan vs England 3rd Test: Shan Masood led Pakistan reached a score of 187-7 in 62 overs at lunch on the 2nd day of the 3rd Test-Match between Pakistan and England at the Cricket Stadium of Rawalpindi.



The contest will resume after a duration of 30 minutes, with Saud Shakeel (72runs in 132 balls) and Noman Ali (6runs in 15 balls) batting in the middle.



The second day kicked off with the Green Shirts sitting at a score of 73/3 in 23 overs, with captain Masood (16 runs) and Saud Shakeel (16 runs) on-strike.



Notably, the Shaheens need to get 80 more runs to eliminate the lead of the Ben Stokes-led team. England scored 267 runs in their 1st inning.



The partnership between Masood and Shakeel looked promising however, the Pakistani skipper?s dismissal off the bowling of off-spinner Shoaib Bashir triggered a mini-collapse in the batting-order of the home team.



Introducing leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed into the attack turned out to be a masterstroke as he picked up three crucial wickets to give the advantage to the tourists.

Wicketkeeper Batsman Mohammad Rizwan was caught plumb in front of the stumps by Rehan on the third delivery of the 49th over and Rizwan got out after scoring 25 runs in 46 deliveries. 



Carrying the complete pressure on his shoulders, Shakeen is currently unbeaten at the crease and he would be looking to strengthen the sinking ship of the Shaheens by scoring a hundred.



Additionally, the fans present in the stadium witnessed Salman Ali Agha getting dismissed after scoring just one run as he was caught in front of the stumps by Rehan Ahmed.



Aamer Jamal followed suit as well, Rehan got the better of him as well in the 57th over.. Jamal departed after scoring just 14 runs.



Tailender Noman Ali is present at the crease alongside Shakeel.



In terms of England?s bowling performance, leggie Rehan Ahmed has been the best bowler so far with three wickets next to his name. He is being supported in a good way by fellow spinner Shoaib Bashir who has dismissed two Pakistani batters so far while the duo of Atkinson and Leach have one wicket a piece next to their name.
