England are criticised by former captain Alastair Cook for their approach during the third day of the final Test against Pakistan, after Pakistan’s batter Razaullah delivered a major burst of hitting.
Cook says England had “no plan” and were “out of control” during that phase, implying the team struggled to respond to Pakistan’s momentum. Both sources describe his comments as a direct challenge to England’s tactics and game management in the period when Pakistan shifted the match.
The coverage is largely aligned on what Cook said and the timing—during the third day of the final Test—while focusing less on broader match details such as specific bowling changes or tactical responses. Overall, the outlets present Cook’s critique as his assessment of England’s performance during a decisive period of Pakistan’s batting, without adding contrasting viewpoints from other figures in the provided texts.
