England and Pakistan are set to face off in the third Test match at Edgbaston, starting on September 9 and ending on September 13. The series outcome has already been decided after England's dominant victories at Headingley and Lord's. Despite recent setbacks, including a 4-1 loss in the Ashes to Australia and a 2-1 series defeat against New Zealand, England has shown strong form with a powerful bowling lineup that includes Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue, and Gus Atkinson. Their batting, excluding the openers, has also performed well in the current series.
Pakistan, however, has undergone significant changes to their team. Seven players, including Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, and Salman Ali Agha—who was captain in the first Test but dropped from the second—have been removed from the squad. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has launched an investigation into team discipline and conduct following a series of poor performances. The team has struggled to score over 200 runs in any of their four innings so far, and their bowling has faced criticism for a lack of pace and variety.
The match will be broadcast in Pakistan on PTV Sports and Tapmad. Tapmad offers both a free tier with advertisements and a premium tier for an ad-free, high-definition stream. Viewers outside Pakistan can use a virtual private network (VPN) to access the match. In the United States, Willow TV is the platform for viewing the Test, available through Sling TV's Desi Binge Plus or Dakshin Flex plans, or through Prime Video. In the UK, Sky Sports will broadcast the match on their Cricket and Main Event channels.
In India, Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV will provide coverage, while in Australia, Fox Cricket via Foxtel and Kayo Sports will be the platforms for viewers to watch the match. This third Test will be a significant opportunity for both teams to showcase their strengths, with England aiming to maintain their recent dominance and Pakistan looking to rebuild and improve their performance on the field.
