Pakistan falls to 100-7 during opening session of third Test at Edgbaston

Pakistan reached 100-7 at lunch on the first day of the third Test at Edgbaston after a difficult morning session against England. Joe Root won the toss and elected to field, with the English seam attack capitalizing on the conditions to take seven wickets within 23 overs. Pakistan’s top five batters were all dismissed for single-digit scores, marking the first time in Test cricket history that this has occurred in a first innings. Despite efforts from Saud Shakeel and Babar Azam to stabilize, the tourists maintained a 40% false-shot percentage throughout the morning. The match remains in progress as the team attempts to recover from the early collapse during this series.
