Pakistan spin duo wreak havoc as England crumble to 110-5 in Cricket match

In Rawalpindi, Pakistan, the Pakistan spin duo of Sajid Khan and Noman Ali put on a dominant display, decimating England's top half of the batting lineup in just one session. The tourists were left reeling at 110-5 on the first day of the crucial third test.

Ben Duckett gave England a decent start but captain Ben Stokes, batting on six, was left to rue his decision to bat first on a turning track. Jamie Smith was batting on five at the break with England facing a massive job to rebuild the innings.

The three-test series is level at 1-1.

Pakistan attacked with spin from both ends with Sajid and Noman, who shared all 20 England wickets in the previous test in Multan, bowling in tandem.

Left-arm spinner Noman drew first blood when he tempted Zak Crawley with a flighted delivery, the opener trying for a drive but edging it to Saim Ayub at gully.

England vice captain Ollie Pope fell to Sajid for the third time in three innings after fluffing a sweep shot.

The off-spinner then delivered a body blow when he trapped Joe Root, currently the top-ranked test batter, lbw for five with a sharply turning ball.

Duckett hit a six off Sajid en route to his fifty and got a reprieve when Noman spilled a return catch. The spinner got his man though, dismissing Duckett lbw in the same over with a delivery that kept low.

Sajid's trademark thigh-slap celebration was on display again when he bowled Harry Brook , who looked ill at ease against the turning ball.
