Mark
Wood
was
pick
of
the
England
bowlers,
claiming
4-65
as
England
registered
their
first
series
win
in
Pakistan
since
2000-01.

“Things
happened
quickly
this
week
compared
to
last
week,”
England
captain
Ben
Stokes
said,
referring
to
their
victory
in
the
opener
in
Rawalpindi.

“Going
down
to
the
wire
again,
(it’s
a)
good
game
to
be
a
part
of.

It
was
a
tricky
wicket
for
slower
bowling.
We
were
fortunate
that
with
the
cracks
opening
up
our
seamers
became
effective,”
said
Stokes.

Harry
Brook
was
adjudged
player
of
the
match
for
scoring
the
only
hundred
of
the
low-scoring
match.

“To
be
honest,
we
were
not
up
to
the
mark
in
the
first
innings,”
Pakistan
captain
Babar
Azam
said
after
the
defeat.

“There
were
a
couple
of
soft
dismissals
and…in
the
second
innings
we
fought
well
but
could
not
finish.”

England
will
conclude
their
first
Test
tour
of
Pakistan
since
2005
with
the
third
and
final
match
beginning
in
Karachi
on
Saturday.
