Pakistan is set to maintain its spin-heavy lineup for the pivotal third Test against England this Thursday. Both teams are preparing for another dry wicket, ideal for slow bowlers.
Efforts have been made to dry the pitch with industrial fans and outdoor heaters, in accordance with Pakistan captain Shan Masood's strategy to counter England's aggressive batting lineup.
As spin takes center stage, England recalls leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, joining Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir. Pakistan's spin duo, Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, who captured all 20 wickets in the second Test, are expected to play crucial roles once again.
