Pakistan made some bold selection calls and milked their home advantage to fashion a remarkable 2-1 series victory against an England team, who will return home plagued by self-doubts. Few expected Shan Masood and his men to bounce back in such a fashion after Bangladesh blanked them 2-0 in their previous test series at home.

Spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan has suppressed England inside three days and earned Pakistan a long-awaited and series-clinching nine-wicket win in the third and final test.
