The test series between Pakistan and England is now in its final game, levelled at 1-1, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The toss was lost by Pakistan, and they were asked to bat by England knowing that a win gives the visitors the series. The last of the match will seal the series for one team who has worked hard throughout the test series .

Both teams are playing one fast bowler as the pitch has been prepared for spin bowlers, And England have added a young prospect Rehan Ahmed, a left-arm bowler.

“The pitch looks like a nice one and we can’t wait for the cricket and the traffic to go and then come back,” said England captain Ben Stokes at the toss.

“Looks a very good wicket,” he further said. “It’s another challenge that we are being presented with and will wait and see.”

Pakistan has come with the same 11 who forced a draw in the series with a test win in their second test match played in Multan.

The captain of the Green Shirts, Shan Masood, was non-committal while being asked to comment about the prediction of the pitch.

“The pitch is probably the most important thing. The important thing is to see the situation, see what you’re under and react,” he said.

This match has been a little bit different. For the time-being, until both teams have batted, we will not say anything ‘as it was,”

 commented Masood.
