ENGLAND have recalled Rehan Ahmed as part of a three-pronged spin attack for the series-deciding third Test against Pakistan which resumes on Thursday.

Ahmed joins slow left-armer Jack Leach and off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, with the tourists seemingly prepared for another turning track.

The pitch at Rawalpindi is renowned as a flat-batting paradise but Pakistan have left it baking in the sun over the last three days and employed the same industrial fans they used to dry out the surface ahead of the second Test.
