کیا مطلب جس طرح سرفراز اور مکی آرتھر کو ہوم پر سیریز وائٹ واش ہونے کے بعد ہٹایا گیا تھا تو اسی طرح بابر اور ثقلین کو بھی ہٹائیں گے؟ 🤡#PAKvEng #PAKvsENG pic.twitter.com/rCygBVxeDU

I got to say that England has been proved the worst nightmare for Pakistan not only in T20Is but in Test Cricket also. #PAKvsENG

Speaking of the action of the match, England posted a total of 354 runs in the first innings in response to Pakistan’s 304 and took a lead of 50 runs. Harry Brook smashed another brilliant century with a knock of 111 runs including eight boundaries and three sixes to his name. Other than him, wicketkeeper-batter Ben Foakes and opener Ollie Pope also scored half-centuries with the knocks of 64 and 51 runs respectively.
While bowling in the second innings, thanks to the amazing bowling heroics of England Rehan Ahmed, England's bowling lineup bundled up Pakistan only on the score of 216 runs. Rehan Ahmed scaled five wickets alongside Jack Leach who picked three wickets. Joe Root and Mark Wood also claimed a wicket each.
England was given a target of 167 runs in the fourth innings of the match which they easily reached in the first hour of the third day by losing only two wickets.
With this defeat against the three lions, Pakistan is now out of contention for the World Test Championship Final 2023.
