Pakistan vs England 1st Test match day 3 2026 full highlights
Transcript
00:00One wicket, but he's been accurate there or thereabouts, as you'd expect him to be.
00:31Mentioned that he took those late wickets.
00:39You never know sometimes whether it's natural variation, whether he's using what spinners call a slight undercutter.
00:48Chipped leg side by Archer, and the outfield, of course, extremely fast here at Headingley.
00:58So, what were you looking for?
01:03First aggressive shot from Archer, who was looking to advance.
01:08Got it a bit short, and has pulled it away into the western terrace for six.
01:17Archer's definitely looking to free his arms now.
01:21He didn't get that in the middle of the bat at all, but it is run away down the hill.
01:25It's beaten Muhammad Ali, four of them getting half centuries.
01:30Smith is in trouble here.
01:33Yeah, he's gone.
01:35It's Sian Massoud, who makes no mistake at mid-on.
01:39Having looked in a little discomfort from a short ball in the previous over from Muhammad Abbas,
01:44it's a short ball now that has done for Jamie Smith.
01:53He's going to be very disappointed with himself here.
01:57Backward point.
01:59Feels like the field is set for some short pitch bowling, but that was just a length ball,
02:05and Archer's hustling back for a second.
02:07Looks like he fancies a bit of strike at the moment.
02:15He's going to get four here, but he really knew precious little about it.
02:19He was looking to flick that away on the leg side.
02:25He was wider on the crease this time, but Tong greets it with a straightest of bat.
02:35There you go, again.
02:38Just a variation in length.
02:41If the number 11 is just leaning on an on-drive.
02:45Gone.
02:47As long as it's not a no-ball, which he's been guilty of, that should be the last wicket.
02:53And it is the last wicket.
02:55That's where you have to bowl at Headingley.
02:58Bale trimming height.
02:59He got it right in the end.
03:01He ends up with three wickets.
03:08After two very full deliveries, one down the leg side.
03:12And finally finds the...
03:16Now was there some glove on that as he swayed out the way.
03:19He didn't get his gloves out the way, and he's going to have to go.
03:23Not reviewing off the glove.
03:25England and Archer have their first.
03:32It's the short ball again.
03:34Imam Al-Haq.
03:36Got to do a decent push and try to leave the ball, but it kept following him.
03:39Didn't get his gloves out in time.
03:45Tickle fine.
03:46And the first runs on the board for Sian Masood and Pakistan.
03:54Off the mark.
03:56Off the pair.
03:57In his first runs in England in Test Match Cricket.
04:01He'll come back for three.
04:11Nicely should be a couple.
04:12Root has positioned himself at leg slip.
04:19Full one.
04:20Nicely played with the swing.
04:22There was a bit of bluff in there from Archer with the short leg.
04:25He went fuller.
04:26And when you see the replay...
04:31Leg slip gone.
04:33Joe Roo, brilliant captaincy.
04:36Absolutely brilliant.
04:38They have had a leg slip most of the summer.
04:41Finally, it goes there.
04:51High pace into his legs.
04:53All he could do is just react on the ball.
04:55The scramble seam probably.
04:57Straight hit the line.
04:59Joe Root straight in the bread basket.
05:05There was the fuller one.
05:10Clipped away effectively and efficiently.
05:13And it races across the practice pitches for four.
05:16To put runs on the ball.
05:18If you can.
05:19And that also helps rotating the strike.
05:28Well, that's a thick outside edge.
05:30But there's no one at point in the outfield.
05:32Despite the rain of the last two days.
05:33Quick enough.
05:39A little bit straight.
05:41And he's very strong in that area.
05:43Sian Massoud.
05:44Similar to the shot he played off Joffre Archer.
05:47Heading the pitch.
05:50Again, just a little straight from Oli Robinson.
05:55We'll bring Sian a couple.
05:59Archer again.
06:00Looking in good rhythm.
06:01Carved away over the slips though.
06:04I think this is the right approach from Abdullah Shafiq.
06:07Keep being positive.
06:13Well, runs have just started to flow in the last two and a half overs.
06:22Beautifully played.
06:24Ball rather sat in the surface from Oli Robinson.
06:32A little bit further in front of square on this occasion.
06:36But it's another fine stroke through the offside.
06:43That's a nice shot on the up.
06:45It should only be a couple.
06:47You will know as a left-hander.
06:52Got him.
06:54Wouldn't you just know it.
06:57Oli Robinson finds the perfect line and length.
07:01Scratches the outside edge of the forward defensive stroke of Abdullah Shafiq.
07:06And Harry Brook does the rest at second slip.
07:11It took him 5.4 overs.
07:14Oli Robinson back in with the ball and strikes.
07:22Sliced away back to the square.
07:26And a pleasing boundary.
07:31Very nice from Saad Shaquil.
07:35Not a huge stride into the ball but getting his weight into the shot.
07:42Even better this time.
07:43That's the second on drive that Saad Shaquil has played after the break.
07:48This one just about picture perfect.
07:55Oh, gone.
07:56Can you believe it.
07:57He's picked out Lawrence.
07:59Who was hovering in an unusual position.
08:02A little deeper behind square.
08:05And Saad Shaquil has picked him out.
08:08Lawrence takes a good low catch to his right.
08:14Can't figure out if it's unlucky or poor batting.
08:17But definitely good captains you have to say.
08:21Dan Lawrence wasn't at leg slip but just
08:25a wide-ish, short, fine leg kind of position if ever there was a 38.
08:30Good catch is
08:32in unusual positions.
08:36That's unusual from Archer in itself.
08:38You don't often see him.
08:43Good catch.
08:45First slip.
08:46Tong again.
08:47That'll do his numbers against the left-handers a bit of good.
08:53He's got Saad Shaquil first of all after lunch and now he's picked up Shan Masood.
09:01Quite good conditions.
09:02Pakistani batters are being tested here.
09:05The fragile techniques being exposed.
09:07Shan Masood just going with hard hands at that one.
09:09Simple catch.
09:10The first one to bend up it at first slip.
09:17There's one gets off the mark immediately.
09:32Given him.
09:34It's been reviewed immediately.
09:41Edge through the gap.
09:51Again it's making...
09:53Rezwan make decisions and that shot is a lovely one.
09:56Punched down the ground in full control.
10:02Nice he played.
10:03A bit fuller, a bit wider.
10:06A bit floatier.
10:09Oh that's close.
10:10That's got to be close.
10:11As he hit him outside the line.
10:12That'll be the question I think.
10:16Bridge decision's not out.
10:19It's impact outside.
10:21Go back on field.
10:23Umpire Pallica and umpire Gaffney have had an excellent test match.
10:31Oh is that popped up?
10:33I think it's been taken cleanly by Jordan Cox.
10:36England are celebrating.
10:37Ali Uzman is walking off.
10:41Yeah a clear edge.
10:43And it's hit some part of Jamie Smith and just gone straight up in the air.
10:48And good awareness from Jordan Cox.
10:56Pitched up.
10:57Edge.
10:58Did it hit the knee.
11:00Of Smith.
11:05There's one will be able to at least come back for two.
11:07In fact he won't need to come back for two because he's timed that so well.
11:10It's away for four.
11:16Archer won't be able to keep that to a single.
11:24And a short leg has been added.
11:27Edged.
11:28Away for four.
11:31It's Cox diving away to his right at third slip but it was well out of his reach.
11:37Edged again.
11:39Pass Cox again.
11:40Almost a carbon copy.
11:44110 for seven.
11:49Edged.
11:50Gone.
11:51Rizwan's decision to take a single off the first ball of the over has played straight into the hands of
11:57England.
11:58The only batter out there to expose the tail to five balls of Robinson makes no sense.
12:07Excellent catching from England.
12:27Right then.
12:28Run for two.
12:30End of the over.
12:36Nicely timed through the offside.
12:39A bit of a tease for Joe Root.
12:44And he runs through for a couple to still hold on to the strike.
12:47Now, what do you see in three and a bit days pan out?
12:54We're going to fall.
12:56And it's really nicely ridden.
12:58Gets on top of the bounce of Mohamed Rizwan and picks up four through the left side.
13:06Brilliant.
13:06Nicely punched down the ground.
13:08So, there will be back-to-back boundaries for Mohamed Rizwan.
13:15Not to be diluted.
13:19Well, that's out.
13:22Indisputably.
13:24And Atkinson joins the party and has a wicket next to his name and a stump flattened to the floor.
13:35Yes, the old full pint there.
13:37The off stump.
13:40And Atkinson deserves some reward.
13:43I think he's bowled pretty well today, albeit he hasn't got amongst them, as some of the others have.
14:03In the air.
14:06And it's all over.
14:09Dan Lawrence takes the catch.
14:12Faultless performance in the field from England.
14:16That potent pace attack that had Rout excited ahead of his second coming.
14:22And it's that pace attack that has delivered for him in this game.
14:26Three wickets to Robinson, three to Archer, and three to Tong in this second innings.
14:31To go with the 10 shared by Tong and Atkinson first time around.
14:37And atkinson first time around.
