England pile agony on Pakistan with historic whitewash in Test series

KARACHI (Dunya News) – England on Tuesday sealed the three-match Test series by beating host team Pakistan in the final Test match that was played in Karachi. 

Two English batsmen were sent back to the pavilion by Pakistan’s mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed in the last session of the third day but Captain Ben Stokes and Ben Ducket led the visiting side to a historic 3-0 win. Ducket was unbeaten at 82 while Stokes ended with 35 on 43 deliveries. 

Earlier on Monday, Pakistan batting lineup miserably failed in the second innings as the national team managed to score 216 runs. On the fourth day, England resumed their second innings at overnight score of 112 for two and needed a paltry 55 for the washout. 

Pakistan posted 304 runs in the first innings of the last Test and England posted 354 and English leg spinner Rehan Ahmed picked five wickets on his Test debut to put the team on course for a comfortable victory in the final Test. England becomes the first Test team to complete a 3-0 whitewash in Pakistan, having won the first two tests in Rawalpindi and Multan.
