Pakistan Suffers Batting Collapse in Third Test Against England at Edgbaston
Pakistan's cricket team faced another batting collapse on Day 1 of the third Test against England at Edgbaston, with captain Babar Azam dismissed for 7 runs. The team lost seven wickets within the opening hour, slipping to 48 for 5, continuing their struggles throughout the series. Recent squad and coaching changes have not improved performance, raising concerns that Pakistan's total runs for the tour may fall below Shubman Gill's individual tally of 754 runs scored during India's England series.
