  "account": "Birmingham witnessed a remarkable late salvo by debutant Razaullah as Pakistan fought back against England in the third Test, setting the home side a target of 130 to secure a clean sweep in the three-Test series. The 21-year-old fast bowler, coming to the crease with Pakistan trailing by 318 runs at 318-8, displayed no nerves as he smashed nine sixes in his 81 off 63 balls, sharing a 121-run ninth-wicket partnership with Mohammad Abbas. Razaullah's tally of sixes matched Ben Stokes' record for the most maximums in a Test innings, set against Australia in 2023. Despite Pakistan's torrid series, they were dismissed for 449, leading to a fourth day of play. Razaullah, the last man out, stumped by Jordan Cox off Dan Lawrence, had broken both his bats and worn down his third.",
