PAK vs ENG: How many years did it take for Pakistan to win Test series against England at home?

Pakistan has clinched a home series victory against England for the first time in 19 years. The Green Shirts triumphed over the visitors by 9 wickets in the third Test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, following a previous victory by 152 runs in the second Test, thus solidifying their dominance with a 2-1 series win.

The series began with a challenging start for Pakistan, as England overpowered them in the first Test, winning by an innings and 47 runs. However, the tides turned dramatically in the subsequent matches, showcasing the determination and talent of the Pakistani side.

Key to Pakistan's success in the latter matches were spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, who led the bowling attack and collectively claimed an impressive 39 wickets throughout the series. Their performance was instrumental in reversing the series momentum, allowing Pakistan to bounce back and secure the series victory.

This achievement marks Pakistan's first series win against England at home since 2005, when they triumphed under the captaincy of Inzamam-ul-Haq. Notably, the last time Pakistan defeated England in a Test series was in 2015, led by Misbah-ul-Haq on English soil.

In the final Test, England began their second innings on the third day at 24 runs with 3 wickets down, with Joe Root and Harry Brook at the crease. However, Pakistani bowlers quickly made inroads, with Nauman Ali dismissing Brook for 26 runs and sending captain Ben Stokes back for just 3 runs. The wickets continued to tumble, with the sixth wicket falling at just 75 runs when Jamie Smith was dismissed for 3 runs off a delivery from Sajid Khan.

The Pakistan cricket team delivered a stellar performance in the third and final Test, decisively bowling out the visitors for a mere 112 runs in their second innings. With a modest target of 36 runs set, Pakistan's batting lineup efficiently chased down the target, marking a significant milestone for the team.
