Pakistan in some bother after sending England into a spin saved by Jamie Smith

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) — Jamie Smith bailed out England with a gallant half-century against Pakistan's spin attack on an engineered dry pitch to start the decisive third test on Thursday.

England was on the ropes at 118-6 shortly after lunch until Smith's 89 revived them to 267 all out. Smith and Gus Atkinson (39) combined in a gutsy 105-run stand.

“I want to be someone who does it in all conditions, not just at home against spin and seam,” Smith said. “To come out here and to put in that performance is quite pleasing.”

Off-spinner Sajid Khan grabbed 6-128, and left-arm spinner Noman Ali had 3-88.

England reduced Pakistan to 73-3 by stumps, still trailing by 194 runs on a pitch fanned, heated and raked by the ground staff at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Skipper Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel, after overturning an on-field decision of a leg-side catch against him, were both 16 not out.

Gus Atkinson, one of two changes England made to the side which lost the second test by 152 runs, claimed the only wicket on the day to fall to a pace bowler when he clean bowled Kamran Ghulam for 3.

Pakistan didn't use its only seam option, Aamer Jamal. This was only the second time in test history that a team didn't bowl a pacer in the first innings of a test match, according to ESPN. The first time was in 1882 by Australia against England in Sydney.

Khan and Ali took all 20 wickets in Pakistan's series-levelling win in the second test in Multan last week, and they sliced through England again by bowling unchanged for 42 overs.

Wicketkeeper Smith smashed six sixes and five boundaries and Atkinson hit five fours as they defied the all-spin attack.

“On a wicket like that you fear that it’s going to deteriorate as the game goes on, so every first innings run is vital," Smith said. "That partnership took a lot pressure off me ... we complement each other quite nicely (and) he allowed me to sort of knock the ball around at times when he’s playing some shots.”

Smith raised his half-century off 94 balls and accelerated against leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood before top-edging a slog sweep against Mahmood just before tea to miss out on a second century in his ninth test.

Ali dismissed Atkinson, who offered a tame return catch.

Earlier, Khan and Ali bowled all 30 overs before lunch and suppressed the tourist's aggression after captain Ben Stokes won England’s first toss in eight tests.

England stuttered to 110-5 in the first session after a good start by openers Ben Duckett (52) and Zak Crawley (29).

Duckett and Crawley raised a half-century stand inside the first dozen overs with sweeps and reverse sweeps. But England lost five wickets in the next 13 overs.

“The pitch helped us for the first 25 overs, but when the ball got soft it was difficult to spin the ball,” Khan said. “I varied my pace and used the crease, which helped me to take wickets.”

Ali lured Crawley to drive on the offside but the ball flew to backward point, and Khan pinned Ollie Pope (3) and Joe Root (5) leg before wicket in consecutive overs.

Duckett was out in the same over he reached 50, lbw on the back foot to an Ali delivery which didn’t rise above ankle height. Harry Brook (5) dragged his sweep shot against Khan onto his stumps.

But Khan rued Pakistan allowing Smith and Atkinson to share a century stand as he dropped a difficult catch at long-off of Smith and Saud Shakeel also couldn't judge an overhead catch close to the boundary.

“Smith played a brilliant knock, but we dropped some chances," Khan said. “Otherwise, we could have bowled them out under 200.”

The pitch encouraged England to include Rehan Ahmed as a third specialist spinner beside Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir.

Off-spinner Bashir gave England the first wicket when he trapped Abdullah Shafique leg before on the back foot and Saim Ayub fell into an England trap by giving a head-high catch to Root at short mid-wicket.

“We would have liked to go with one down, but we lost three wickets," Khan said. "Now we need a good healthy lead as Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel should bat for the first hour and we must keep wickets in hand.”

Pakistan retained the XI which ended an 11-test, three-year winless run at home.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Thousands of people marched in Minneapolis Saturday to protest the fatal shooting of a woman by a federal immigration officer there and the shooting of two protesters in Portland, Oregon, as Minnesota leaders urged demonstrators to remain peaceful.

The Minneapolis gathering was one of hundreds of protests planned in towns and cities across the country over the weekend. It came in a city on edge since the killing of Renee Good on Wednesday by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

“We’re all living in fear right now,” said Meghan Moore, a mother of two from Minneapolis who joined the protest Saturday. “ICE is creating an environment where nobody feels safe and that’s unacceptable.”

On Friday night, a protest outside a Minneapolis hotel that attracted about 1,000 people turned violent as demonstrators threw ice, snow and rocks at officers, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said Saturday. One officer suffered minor injuries after being struck with a piece of ice, O’Hara said. Twenty-nine people were cited and released, he said.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey stressed that while most protests have been peaceful, those who cause damage to property or put others in danger will be arrested. He faulted “agitators that are trying to rile up large crowds.”

“This is what Donald Trump wants,” Frey said of the president who has demanded massive immigration enforcement efforts in several U.S. cities. “He wants us to take the bait.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz echoed the call for peace.

“Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone,” Walz posted on social media. “Now he wants nothing more than to see chaos distract from that horrific action. Don’t give him what he wants.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says its deployment of immigration officers in the Twin Cities is its biggest ever immigration enforcement operation. Trump's administration has said both shootings were acts of self-defense against drivers who “weaponized” their vehicles to attack officers.

Connor Maloney said he was attending the Minneapolis protest to support his community and because he's frustrated with the immigration crackdown.

“Almost daily I see them harassing people,” he said. “It’s just sickening that it’s happening in our community around us.”

Steven Eubanks, 51, said he felt compelled to attend a protest in Durham, North Carolina, on Saturday because of the “horrifying” killing of Good in Minneapolis.

“We can’t allow it,” Eubanks said. “We have to stand up.”

Indivisible, a social movement organization that formed to resist the Trump administration, said hundreds of protests were scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other states.

In Minneapolis, a coalition of migrant rights groups organized the demonstration that began in a park about half a mile from the residential neighborhood where the 37-year-old Good was shot on Wednesday. Marchers carried signs calling for ICE to leave and voiced support for Good and immigrants.

A couple of miles away, just as the demonstration began, an Associated Press photographer witnessed heavily armed officers — at least one in Border Patrol uniform — approach a person who had been following them. Two of the agents had long guns out when they ordered the person to stop following them, telling him it was his “first and final warning.”

The agents eventually drove onto the interstate without detaining the driver.

Protests held in the neighborhood have been largely peaceful, in contrast to the violence that hit Minneapolis in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in 2020. Near the airport, some confrontations erupted on Thursday and Friday between smaller groups of protesters and officers guarding the federal building used as a base for the Twin Cities crackdown.

O’Hara said city police officers have responded to calls about cars abandoned because their drivers have been apprehended by immigration enforcement. In one case, the car was left in park and in another case a dog was left in the vehicle.

He said immigration enforcement activities are happening “all over the city” and that 911 callers have been alerting authorities to ICE activity, arrests and abandoned vehicles.

The Trump administration has deployed thousands of federal officers to Minnesota under a sweeping new crackdown tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents. More than 2,000 officers were taking part.

Some officers moved in after abruptly pulling out of Louisiana, where they were part of another operation that started last month and was expected to last until February.

Three congresswomen from Minnesota attempted to tour the ICE facility in the Minneapolis federal building on Saturday morning and were initially allowed to enter but then told they had to leave about 10 minutes later.

U.S, Reps. Ilhan Omar, Kelly Morrison and Angie Craig accused ICE agents of obstructing members of Congress from fulfilling their duty to oversee operations there.

“They do not care that they are violating federal law,” Craig said after being turned away.

A federal judge last month temporarily blocked the Trump administration from enforcing policies that limit congressional visits to immigration facilities. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by 12 members of Congress who sued in Washington, D.C. to challenge ICE’s amended visitor policies after they were denied entry to detention facilities.

Associated Press writers Allen Breed in Durham, North Carolina, and Scott Bauer in Madison, Wisconsin, contributed.
