Rawalpindi: The third and last test cricket match between Pakistan and England will be played in Rawalpindi on Thursday.
The match will start at 10 am Pakistan Standard Time.
The three-match series is leveled 1-1.
Following the Pakistan footsteps, England have included three spinners in the squad.
The visitors can find some solace from the fact that the Rawalpindi pitch will be pace-friendly as they lost all 20 of their wickets in the second Test against spin.
However the Three Lions have decided to play three spinners going into the Test with Rehan Ahmed included in the playing 11.
Brydon Carse and Matthew Potts will be making way as Gus Atkinson also returns to the England eleven.
A pace-friendly pitch will also help them enforce their hard-hitting batting style of Bazball cricket.
On the other hand, Pakistan never lacked a good pace attack, but they need to be careful about their inconsistent batting order, which might cause trouble for them if the ball starts to move a little too much for the English pacers.
Teams will have to play on the pace-friendly pitch of Rawalpindi in the third Test.
