Having conceded an unassailable 2-0 lead to England in the ongoing Test series at home, Pakistan will aim for a consolation win in the third and final Test at Karachi.

On the eve of the match, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam took to the nets to fine-tune his preparations under the watchful eyes of head coach Saqlain Mushtaq, who was a legendary off-spinner during his playing days.

During the practice session, Saqlain decided to roll his arms and knocked over Babar with a peach of a delivery.

Saqlain angled the delivery towards the off-stump line as Babar attempted a reverse lap shot, but the ball turned in and went underneath the swinging bat to castle the Pakistan captain.

Babar Azam was left stunned by a ripper from the 45-year-old Saqlain Mushtaq.
