England's Test series against Pakistan has been on a knife's edge, with the series hanging in the balance after a thrilling encounter in the final Test. The day saw 13 wickets tumble, sending shockwaves through both camps, as the English side staged a dramatic comeback to leave the match and series delicately poised.
The day began with English batsmen struggling to get a foothold, as Pakistan's bowlers wreaked havoc with their unplayable spells. With wickets falling like ninepins, England's hopes of reversing the surge seemed to be slipping away. As the scoreboard continued to paint a sorry picture for the visitors, their odds of emerging as Test series victors were looking increasingly bleak.
However, a spirited fightback from the English side buoyed the crowd's spirits. Riding high on adrenaline and determination, the batsmen launched an astonishing flurry of shots, including sixes from Jamie Smith that stunned the Pakistani bowlers. England's new found momentum had, all of a sudden, made Pakistan's bowlers look pedestrian and on several occasions the hosts looked to be visibly frustrated as England inched closer to posting a respectable total.
Smith's barrage of sixes proved to be a valuable windfall for England, as the visiting batsman stepped up his innings with devastating effect. Suddenly England's chances had brightened as Smith's rapid scoring accelerated and more importantly lifted England's hopes in wresting back the momentum of the match.
England's momentum was palpable as the spirited English side piled on the Pakistanis in a seesaw battle of Test cricket's unpredictable nature. Despite having been battered earlier, England showed more tenacity towards the close of the day. Momentum now having shifted decisively in their favour, the visitors' resilience in that unforgiving last session sets up an intriguing last day in the ongoing series. Can they pull off a stunning upset or will Pakistan steady their nerve to win the series - only time will tell.
