'Outside noise' ignored, but Pakistan can't escape scoreboard as they crumble at Edgbaston

In an attempt to revitalize their game, Pakistan implemented four changes and handed out three Test debuts before their clash with England. Captain Babar Azam emphasized the importance of blocking out external chatter, yet the restructured team faced a swift demise in the first session. They lost six wickets for less than 100 runs, with Babar himself being among the casualties. Despite the shake-up, the team’s performance remained stagnant.
