Babar Azam dismissed for seven runs as Pakistan struggles against England

Pakistan captain Babar Azam recorded seven runs before being bowled by Josh Tongue during the third Test match against England at Edgbaston. This performance continues a prolonged period of difficulty for the batsman, who has not scored a century in Test cricket since December 2022. Pakistan entered the match with four changes to the XI following a heavy defeat at Lord's, hoping to stabilize a batting order that has struggled throughout the series. The team collapsed to 100 for seven by lunch on the opening day, leaving the visitors in a precarious position. Babar previously managed scores of eight and six during the second Test at Lord's after missing the series opener at Headingley due to injury. Pakistan remains under significant pressure as it attempts to recover its form in the remainder of the Edgbaston Test.
