Former cricketer Ramiz Raja shared his thoughts on Pakistan’s performance during commentary, emphasizing the importance of maintaining composure in the dressing room. As the match progresses into its fourth day, Pakistan finds itself under pressure with England leading by 267 runs.

Raja expressed concern over the pitch conditions, stating, "I really hope the Pakistan team can keep their composure in the dressing room. The bowlers must be wondering about the quality of this pitch. They've put in all the effort, but nothing’s happening. It can make you doubt yourself, and you start asking why we’re playing on such a surface at home in the first place."

As of now, England has posted a formidable score of 823 runs for the loss of 7 wickets after 150 overs. This substantial lead puts Pakistan in a difficult position, needing to regroup quickly as they face a tough task ahead.
