Pakistan batting collapses for 133 runs on opening day at Edgbaston

Pakistan was bowled out for 133 in 33.5 overs on the first day of the third Test against England at Edgbaston. The entire top five batters failed to reach double figures, marking the first time the team has recorded this statistical low in a Test innings in England. Saud Shakeel, who top-scored for the visitors, characterized the performance as depressing and attributed the struggles to poor shot selection and a recurring inability to manage the new ball. While Shakeel acknowledged that the pitch provided some early movement for bowlers, he insisted the conditions were playable and that the team failed to capitalize on the surface. Pakistan continues to struggle with consistent collapses throughout the ongoing tour as the players adapt to the lateral movement of English conditions.
