The third Test match between Pakistan and England is evenly poised in Karachi. Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and asked England to bowl first. However, the home side could not use the toss win to great use as they got bundled out for just 304 in the first innings. In reply, by the time of writing of this article, England has lost four wickets for 140 runs with Ben Stokes and Harry Brook in the middle. The Karachi Test is seeing low number of footfall. The fans in Karachi have not embraced the Test format it seems as the whole of National Stadium was empty. 

A few fans who have reached to the ground to watch the match have been left disappointed. A fan named Sana Kazmi posted a picture of one of the stands at the National Stadium. The Twitter user wrote: "fyi this is the view from half the stand. even the vip stands have pillars in addition to this cage obstructing the view. hope @TheRealPCB
works on stadiums from a fan experience PoV, cuz team aur mulk ki mohabbat + excitement at the return of big names will only take us so far."

Other fans who reached the stadium also tweeted the condition of the seats. They posted the pictures of seats which were very dirty, filled with bird droppings. The fans have alo questioned the structure of the stands, pointing out the pillard which obstruct the view of the cricket match. "So frustrating as a fan. Feel like we've been complaining about these things for years but nothing gets better. in fact with the new roof, it's actually become worse in the summer cuz the sea breeze gets blocked," wrote the same fan who had tweeted the photo.
