England and Pakistan are set for a decisive third Test in Rawalpindi, with both teams preparing for spin-friendly conditions on a dry pitch. England has opted for a three-pronged spin attack, recalling Rehan Ahmed to join Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir, reflecting their anticipation of a turning wicket. Pakistan, having levelled the series with a spin-dominated victory in Multan, retains its spin-heavy lineup with Sajid Khan and Noman Ali at the forefront. The toss is expected to be crucial, as early batting could take advantage of the initially flat surface before spin becomes more influential. Meanwhile, in Pune, New Zealand is readying for the second Test against India, with both teams expecting spin to play a significant role on a pitch with low bounce and little grass. The outcome of both series is pivotal, with Pakistan aiming for their first home series win since 2021 and India seeking to stay on course for the World Test Championship final.
