England WIN by 26 runs

Ollie Robinson gets the 10th and final wicket.

Another great TEST match.

Harry Brook stars with the bat with 108 in the 2nd innings.

6 wickets for Mark Wood and 5 for Jack Leach.

England lead the series 2-0 with one to play - a series WIN in Pakistan

Cracking test match……almost made a mess of it by chucking away second innings wickets recklessly but an historic win. Test cricket still the best format by miles.

8 wickets to the pace bowlers, that doesn't happen in that part of the world...

England made an exciting test match on a dire pitch through sheer force of will. This match was a better pitch, plenty for spin and seam.

Again, Stokes captaincy was excellent, seemed to be in tune with the pitch, when it was turning, when the ball was ready for some pace and reverse. Really used his resources well. The question mark of playing Jimmy, Robinson, Wood and Stokes answered emphatically with 6 wickets in the match for Wood, 3 for Jimmy and Robinson. Root and Leach proving to be reliable and dangerous, Root must be delighted with his 3 wickets from his 31 overs.

I know others may disagree but I actually wouldn’t have been too concerned had we lost. Stokes and McCullum are making test cricket exciting for those who didn’t already appreciate that it’s the best form of cricket. It’s almost as if they want to win but they want it to be as exciting as possible. Another fantastic test match and cricket is the winner. A brilliant watch!

Terrific entertainment.

It's been a terrific series so far. Loving the new style of play from England and pleased with the competitiveness of the Pakistan side. Both sides have contributed to what has been a great advertisement for Test Cricket.

Agree - still think we were a bit daft in the second part of our second innings, wasn't any need to be quite so reckless with so much time left but it made the overall game more interesting

It's not uncommon historically in Pakistan, although the spinners do take a lot. The pitches were always pretty slow, but the biggest issue was the rubbish over rates and the quickly fading light.

I know some of us rally against those who have a go at Test cricket, but where matches in Pakistan were concerned I'll concede they had a point.
