Pakistan Prepares Pitch for Third Test Against England

In preparation for the third Test against England, Pakistan is employing unconventional methods to create a spinning pitch in Rawalpindi, using six patio heaters, two industrial fans, and giant windbreaks. Following their victory in the second Test, where spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan took all 20 wickets, Pakistan aims to replicate similar conditions, despite Rawalpindi's traditionally flat surface. Captain Shan Masood has expressed hope for a drier pitch that favors spin, with weather forecasts indicating sunny conditions. The move follows Pakistan's historic loss in the first Test, where they became the first team to score over 500 in an innings and still lose by an innings. The Pakistan Cricket Board has enlisted the expertise of Australian curator Tony Hemming to ensure optimal pitch conditions. England remains unfazed by Pakistan's unusual pitch preparation techniques as they prepare for the decider.
