England crumbled to a historic low, bowled out for 112 before lunch on day three in Rawalpindi, as Pakistan’s spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan dismantled the tourists to claim a 2-1 series victory.
Starting at 24-3, England’s hopes faded as Harry Brook, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes fell to poor shot selections, leading to a collapse of seven wickets for 46 runs.
Noman’s 6-42 and Sajid’s 4-69 left Pakistan with a simple target of 36, which they chased down for a nine-wicket win, marking their first home series victory in nearly four years.
