Karachi

England's debutant leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed completed a five-wicket haul on Test debut in Karachi in the third and final Test of the series against Pakistan, becoming the youngest Test bowler in history to get a fifer on debut.

At 18 years and 126 days, Rehan became the youngest bowler in men's Test history to take a five-wicket haul on debut.

The leg-spinner beat the record held by Pat Cummins when he picked up his fifth wicket on day three of the Karachi Test in 2011. Cummins was 18 years, 193 days old when he took 6/79 back then.

Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel were putting together a fine partnership for Pakistan when Rehan turned the advantage firmly in England's way with the wickets of Azam (54), Mohammad Rizwan (7) and Shakeel (53) in a six-over stretch.

He cleaned up the last two scalps of Mohammad Wasim and Agha Salman to finish with a five-for on debut as Pakistan were bowled out for 216 in their second innings, setting England a target of 167.

Rehan became the 53rd England bowler to take a five-wicket haul on Test debut, a feat that Will Jacks had achieved earlier in the series.
