Rehan loves the joy of six

AHMED LIFTS ENGLAND VIBES

- Rory Dollard

REHAN AHMED stole the show in a raucous six-hitting competition in front of the hosts yesterday, as England got the "good vibes" going.

Ahead of the start of today's Third Test and series-decider here with the teams locked at 1-1, there was no hint of growing pressure from the tourists.

With assistant coach Paul Collingwood providing the throwdowns, the players took it in turns trying to clear the ropes and were eliminated one by one until only two remained.

Ahmed edged Harry Brook in a best-of-three finale, celebrating his recall to the side after eight months with a sweet straight hit and the all-important bragging rights.
