Pakistan win series 2-0 as spinners run riot
130
SHARJAH: Pakistan spinners took nine wickets as the hosts defeated England by 127 runs to take the three-Test series 2-0 in Sharjah on Thursday.
England started the day needing 238 runs for a series-levelling victory with eight wickets in hand. But Yasir Shah and Zulfiqar Babar made early inroads, dismissing the top order within the first hour.
Captain Alastair Cook offered solid resistance, scoring 63 off 164 balls as Yasir picked up four while Babar and Shoaib Malik ended with three.
It was Malik, playing his last Test match, who gave Pakistan the prized wicket of Cook, stumped by wicket-keeper Sarfraz Ahmed, to finish with seven wickets in the match.
Shah had Ben Stokes stumped in the next over for 12 to spark celebrations in the field as Pakistan players embraced each other.
The victory lifts Pakistan to an equal highest ever number two in the ICC (International Cricket Council) Test rankings, a spot which they previously attained only for a few days in August 2006.
Pakistan won the second Test by 178 runs in Dubai.
Alastair Cook's team fought well throughout the three Tests and was unlucky not to win the first Test in Abu Dhabi, forced into a draw due to bad light with just 24 needed for victory.
England are now pushed to sixth from their pre-series third in the Test rankings.
England were in danger of losing the match before lunch but Adil Rashid (22) helped add 49 for the seventh wicket with Cook to delay Pakistan's win.
Cook punched paceman Rahat Ali for a single to reach his 46th half-century in Tests.
When the final day began England were rocked right at the start, losing four wickets in the space of 31 balls after resuming at 46-2.
Shah trapped Joe Root in the second over with a delivery that kept low and caught the batsman in front of the stumps before he had added to his overnight score of six.
James Taylor survived nine deliveries to score two before Babar spun one across his bat for Younis Khan to take the edge in the slip. In the next over, Shah trapped Jonny Bairstow leg-before for nought.
It became 59-6 when Samit Patel was leg-before in Babar's next over, leaving England in fear of being bowled out for their lowest total of 72 against Pakistan when they crumbled in Abu Dhabi in 2012.
But the Rashid-Cook stand got England past the 100-mark before Rahat bowled Rashid with 15 minutes to go before lunch.

Congrats team Pakistan. Misbah and company have proved that Pakistan cricket team is among the best team in the world. English team though labelled themselves among big three but ground reality is so different which was proved today . We are proud of our team as they were performing against all odds. They are not allowed to play on their home ground for a long time but still they have registered themselves as second best team in the world. Well done Misbah you brought so much laurels for the nation . This is not the right time for Misbah to quit the game when Pakistan team really needs you to stay for some more years till Pakistan deservedly achieve number one position in the game. Please reverse your decision for the sake of this cricket mad nation . last every member of our victorious team deserve appreciation for performing so well against a tough opposition who happened to be the inventor of the game - Well done team Pakistan
the whole nation is proud of you.

Time for big celebrations. But at the same time, weaknesses should not be overlooked. Pakistan's best batsmen in this series struggled to negotiate the pace, seam and swing of Broad, Anderson and Wood; that too on pitches far from tailor-made for fast bowling. Also, maximum number of English wickets went to spinners with the only notable contribution of pace bowling from Pakistan coming from Wahab Riaz in England's first innings of the 2nd test. Also, somebody from the management or coaching staff or even a psychologist should work with Sarfaraz to get the best out of him in batting. Of late, he gets a start more often than not, and then throws it away in 30s or 40s. In the 2015 World Cup as well, he got himself run out on 49 against South Africa trying to reach his fifty; and took ages to go from 90 to 100 in the game against Ireland. This is mental aspect; and should be worked on. A settled opening batting pair is also needed. Misbah and Younis will not do the job always and forever.

Infact Pak can fight very well if they play with their real potential in abroad also. Atleast they are better than ARROGANT INDIA in foreign soil.

Really a moment of pride for all of us who belongs to the soil of Pakistan but unfortunately cricket is not being played on our won soil. I must say I am feeling proud but this win is looking like me a biryani without raita and salad because the stands were empty. I must say if this has been happened in Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Karachi or Peshawar etc. the stand would have been over flown and then we can taste a real win. Though I know the security is also important factor and the lives of any human being is more important than anything else in the world but can you guys now see the reality, now Pakistan is safe like any other country specially it more safer than India where extremism as at highest peak.

One thing i m indian n i really appreciate pak bowling
Bowlers from aus nz south africa..they hav bowlers friendly fast pitches
But its hard to produce great bowlers from asia
N pak produce legends like wasim waqar shoib sqlain
N many more i did nt rem being indian
But these legends gave great contributions to cricket
And now pak got yasir shah
My fellow indians may say they r playing in spinner freindly conditions
But one thing i rem when eng tour india we lose from them
So result speaks n history speaks
Our neighbour produce great bowlers
Its hard for a fast bowler to come ahead in slow pitches asia side
I dont rem when pak players were touring
Bowlers were practising using tyres
N finally i dont forget wc 2015 wahab spell against watson
Being indian i think we should learn from all sides.doesnt matter it may b pak or not
They r working hard n we hav to learn from them
All d best

Absence of a good wicketkeeper will definitely shorten the career of yasir shah who has already started late . Pakistan has not been able to find a good wicketkeeper after Raashid Lateef.

Excellent work Pakistan team. It could have been 3-0 if Yasir Shah was fit for the first test.

Good job by the captain and the team,the cricket control board should look for alternatives instead of running after India as there is no cricket until next summer which is no good.

@sandeep One WC was at "home". So, no BIG DEAL! However, let's compare 'apples to apples' and make our comments in the light of achievements of Pakistan and India vis-a-vis recent events and margins, etc. Pakistan has more POINTS today on the rankings list, and that was achieved in a short span of time (from 2013 till date) post the tragic Sri Lanka visit to Pakistan. Moreover, mind you, there was a lot of permutations and combinations being tried out during this period for the sole purpose of finding a clicking combination. All this happened with the 'bowling action' controversies simultaneously on the sidelines. By all means, this will stand out as a 'comeback' for Pakistan cricket.

Great achievement, if only Pakistan can produce reliable batsmen they can become the best team, but batsmen must be encouraged as they blossom over a period of time and Pakistani selectors are impatient and perhaps short sighted, also involved in petty politics; how can they appoint Azhar Ali as One day captain when originally he was not even considered fit for that format? In Pakistan selection is based on politics rather than talent.

Magnificent performance by Shoeb Malik in his farewell test. In fact Shoeb Malik filled the gap created due to the absence of Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Hafeez ( as a bowler).
