England have a series win in the subcontinent as they go on to show some more flexibility in their style of play. Their approach in the second Test was a positive one, while they also managed to bring pace into a track that was turning well early in the game.
Date: December 17th 2022
Time: 10:30 AM IST
Venue: Karachi
The weather at Karachi looks alright with bad light being the only threat as play could end early on most days.
The Karachi track is likely to favor spin and will be better for the side batting first.
Played- 88 | Pakistan -21 | England – 28 | Draw- 39 | Tie- 0
Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Will Jacks, Ollie Robinson, Rehan Ahmed, James Anderson, Jack Leach

Mark Wood is back in the fast line after missing nearly 6 months of Test Cricket. He still loves the format and did really well to find life in a track that was helping the spinners a lot. He is enjoying the captaincy of Ben Stokes, and if he manages to play the third Test he will have a huge role to play with his pace and bounce.
Abrar Ahmed with his mystery has been a bright spot for Pakistan on this tour. In the second Test he bowled really well and kept Pakistan in the game and series briefly. With a little more support from his teammates, he could be more dangerous as they are likely to encounter a turning track again in Karachi.

Draw is the most likely result with a lot of weather issues going around. However, given England’s positive approach and daring style of play, if any team has a chance to win it should be England.
