  "account": "Pakistan's batting performance hit a new low during their Test match at Edgbaston as Saud Shakeel lamented that this was the team's least experienced facing the challenging English conditions, according to Cricket News. Top-order batsmen struggled against the new ball, leading to an early collapse with all five top-order players failing to reach double figures. Shakeel admitted that the conditions offered more lateral movement than expected, which caught Pakistan off guard. Despite the pitch improving later, the early conditions posed a significant challenge for the visitors. Shakeel emphasized that the issue stemmed from shot selection and a lack of discipline rather than the pitch itself, indicating that Pakistan needs to adapt their batting approach to handle the conditions better.",
  "summary": "After yet another batting collapse on Day 1 of the third Test against England, Pakistani batter Saud Shakeel mentioned that it is depressing for the national team.",
