Razaullah's debut 81 leaves England chasing 130 at Edgbaston

Pakistan set England 130 to win the third Test at Edgbaston after debutant Razaullah's 81 from 63 balls extended the match into a fourth day on Friday. BBC Sport reported that the tourists were dismissed for 449, leaving England's pursuit of a 3-0 series sweep to resume on Saturday.

Watch the highlights:

Batting at number nine, Razaullah hit nine sixes and added 121 for the ninth wicket with Muhammad Abbas, who scored 42. Pakistan had been 318-8, still two runs behind. The 21-year-old equalled the Test-debut innings record for sixes and Ben Stokes' mark for a Test innings in England.

The recovery also depended on Pakistan's top order. Shan Masood made 95, Azan Awais 59 and Babar Azam 76. Masood shared partnerships of 125 with Awais and 89 with Babar before a catch by Dan Lawrence off Gus Atkinson ended his innings five short of a century.

England finally broke the late stand when Abbas was caught off Josh Tongue. Razaullah was then stumped off Lawrence to close the day's play. His innings ensured Pakistan would have a target to defend after their first-innings dismissal for 133.

The closing session prompted criticism of England's tactics, BBC Sport reported separately. Former captain Alastair Cook told Test Match Special that he wanted stronger intervention from the coaching staff as the partnership developed. Jonathan Agnew questioned the decision to give part-time off-spinner Lawrence the second new ball ahead of Ollie Robinson. Michael Vaughan also criticised England's execution, arguing that the attack still had improvements to make despite its strength. His assessment included concern that no player had taken charge of the situation as the runs accumulated.

Interim head coach Marcus Trescothick said England had tried several approaches, switching between short bowling, fuller lengths and spin. He acknowledged disappointment at failing to finish the innings quickly once eight wickets were down, while crediting Pakistan's batting. Trescothick also said England would review whether they had missed a better tactical option during the stand, rather than suggesting that one unchanged plan had been followed throughout.
