Batting at No. 9, the young all-rounder treated the English attack with sheer disdain, targeting the boundaries with clean, effortless bat speed and forcing match officials to repeatedly call for replacement balls as several deliveries sailed clear out of the playing arena.
Power Hitting Clears the Perimeter
The moment arrived during a fiery lower-order assault as England tried to wrap up Pakistan’s second innings. Facing both the seamers and the occasional off-spin of Dan Lawrence, Razaullah backed himself to go aerial.
With effortless extension through the line of the ball, he launched a massive pull shot high over the leg-side boundary, sending it soaring well beyond the ropes and directly into the ongoing hotel construction project bordering the Edgbaston grandstand. The thunderous hit drew collective gasps and roaring cheers from the Birmingham crowd, highlighting England's sudden lack of answers in the face of such fearless aggression
A Historic Lower-Order Fightback
The massive blow was just one part of an extraordinary innings from the debutant. When Razaullah walked out to bat, Pakistan were reeling at 318 for eight, still trailing England’s first-innings total by two runs and staring down the barrel of an innings defeat.

Unfazed by the match situation, Razaullah combined with senior fast bowler Mohammad Abbas in a game-changing 121-run stand for the ninth wicket. Razaullah raced to his half-century in just 43 balls—the fastest recorded fifty by a Pakistani batter on Test debut—before eventually falling for 81 off 63 deliveries. His innings featured four fours and nine sixes, equalling the all-time world record for the most sixes hit by any player on Men's Test debut.
Match Poised for Day Four
Razaullah's explosive knock lifted Pakistan to 449 all out in their second innings, ensuring they averted an innings defeat and set England a target of 130 runs on Saturday's fourth day. Combined with his four-wicket haul during England's first innings, the 21-year-old’s high-impact debut has provided a defiant finish to Pakistan’s tour
