Debutant Razaullah Khan equals Test six-hitting record in stunning Pakistan fightback against England

Pakistan debutant Razaullah Khan has written his name into the record books at Edgbaston, delivering an extraordinary counter-attacking performance to stage a stunning fightback against England and give the visitors hope in a fiercely contested Test match.

Entering the fray during a dire batting crisis where Pakistan trailed substantially, Razaullah launched an unprecedented blitz that equalled historic six-hitting records previously shared by England captain Ben Stokes and New Zealand veteran Tim Southee. His aggressive approach and partnership alongside Abbas helped Pakistan avoid an innings defeat and force England into a tricky fourth-innings run chase.

Record-Breaking Debut Amid Openers' Woes

The remarkable lower-order resistance came after Pakistan's top order endured a historically poor tour. Over three Tests and six innings, Pakistan's opening pairs managed a combined total of just 20 runs, registering the worst aggregate by any opening combination in a Test series in 35 years.

Despite criticism from former greats, including Wasim Akram who lamented mid-tour squad changes, the team's coaching staff rallied behind the squad. Razaullah's explosive heroics proved to be the spark Pakistan needed to mount a resilient challenge against England's bowling attack.
