Jamie Smith is batting nicely for England
As of now, Jamie Smith is doing well with the bat. He needs only three runs to complete a half-century in the Test format against Pakistan.
Pakistan could loose the series by 0-3 to England
As Pakistan scored only 133 runs in their first innings, the home team is currently leading the match by 166 runs. With Smith in the middle, the England cricket team will try to extend the lead as much as possible.
It will be a massive setback for the Pakistan cricket team if they lose the series by 0-3; that will mark a fresh low in their cricket history.
