Pakistan Defeats England 2-1 in Test Series

England suffered a crushing defeat to Pakistan in the third Test, losing by nine wickets and conceding the series 2-1, marking the first time they have lost a three-match series after leading 1-0. The English team collapsed dramatically, scoring only 112 runs in their second innings, with spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan dominating by taking all ten wickets. Pakistan's chase was swift and decisive, requiring just 19 balls to reach the target of 36 runs, highlighted by Shan Masood’s aggressive batting. This outcome follows England's initial success in the first Test, leaving them struggling after two consecutive losses in extreme spinning conditions.
