England are playing Pakistan in Karachi tomorrow, already 2-0 up in the three-match series, with leg-spin bowler Rehan Ahmed due to become the youngest man ever to play test cricket for England. When he runs onto the pitch he will be 18 years and 126 days old (the previous record-holder, Brian Close, was 18 years and 149 days old on his debut 73 years ago). Jimmy Anderson, who made his own test debut in May 2003, a year and three months before Ahmed was born, is being rested for the final match. Skipper Ben Stokes captured the mood of the nation when he pointed out that “you only make your debut once, you can never make it again”…
