Pakistan's Razaullah produced a match-shaping performance that stopped England from wrapping up the third Test quickly, France 24 reports. His efforts left England needing 130 runs to win on day four at Edgbaston.
Cricinfo reported that Razaullah's display set England a target of 130 to chase. The same outlet framed the day's play around his impact on the contest.
The match has been defined by what BBC described as chaos, with Pakistan thriving in it on day three. BBC labelled the approach "Razball" as the tourists turned the game around.
England's bowlers came under scrutiny after Pakistan's onslaught, but assistant coach Jonathan Trescothick declined to blame them. According to The Guardian, Trescothick called the situation "a perfect storm" rather than a failure of his attack.
Sky Sports reported that Razaullah revived a struggling Pakistan side and forced England into an unwanted day four. The outlet said he wrote a "perfect chapter" for his team at Edgbaston.
The result now rests on England's pursuit of a modest target, with Pakistan needing wickets to pull off a comeback win. The outcome of that chase will decide the third Test.
