    "editor1": "<p>Teenage spinner Rehan Ahmed got his first wicket for England before Pakistan reached 204-5 at tea on the opening day of the third and final Test in Karachi on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After making history by becoming the youngest player to debut for the side at 16 years and 126 days, Ahmed dismissed Saud Shakeel in his seventh over for 23.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shakeel failed to keep a defensive shot down as Ollie Pope dived forward to take a brilliant catch, one of two wickets Pakistan lost in the session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the break, skipper Babar Azam was unbeaten on 71 and Agha Salman on one after Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat on a National Stadium pitch that has slow turn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Azam and Shakeel added 45 for the fourth wicket. Azam has batted superbly, stroking eight boundaries so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mohammad Rizwan also failed as he lofted a catch off a Joe Root full toss for 19.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the first session Pakistan lost three wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Azhar Ali -- playing his last Test -- fell at the stroke of lunch when he gloved a catch to a diving wicketkeeper Ben Foakes off pacer Ollie Robinson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Azhar and Azam added 71 for the third wicket, repairing the innings after opener Abdullah Shafique fell for eight and Shan Masood 30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sensing the pitch would take spin, England started the attack with left-arm spinner Jack Leach, who trapped Shafique leg-before in the sixth over of the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Masood fell to the trap of short bowling as he pulled fast bowler Mark Wood straight into the hands of deep fine-leg fielder Leach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Masood hit five boundaries while Azhar had six hits to the ropes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hard-pressed to avoid their first-ever whitewash in a home series, Pakistan made four changes with Azhar, Masood, Mohammad Wasim and Nauman Ali drafted in the side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England, who lead the series 2-0, brought Foakes and Ahmed into the side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FwYLR1xf7FQ\">Roston Chase Picks Up His All-Time XI, Includes 3 Indians<\/a><\/p><p>Before Ahmed, Brian Close was the youngest England debutant at 18 years and 149 days when he played against New Zealand in 1949.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
