  "account": "The Third Rothesay Test at Edgbaston saw England's bid for a two-day win in their final Test against Pakistan thwarted by weather conditions. The tourists were struggling at 52-2 with 268 runs to go when rain intervened for the second and final time in Birmingham at 17:07 BST. England found themselves with the chance to force a result, but the fragile batting lineup meant victory within two days seemed highly likely. The match was already a foregone conclusion when England began their innings on 156-4, leading by 23. Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Dan Lawrence, and Ollie Robinson all contributed heavily, pushing England to 453, a substantial first-innings lead of 320. Despite the loss of no player to century status, a century remains England's only hundred of the summer. England's calmness and ability to find the right tempo in their batting were evident, with Ollie Robinson in particular showing a promising form. However, none of England's batters managed to reach the century mark, meaning the summer's fewest number of individual hundreds will be recorded.",
