BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special
That's a very disappointing performance from England all round.
Summary
Third Test, day three, Rawalpindi
Pakistan win by nine wickets to seal 2-1 series victory
Woeful England collapse from 66-3 to 112 all out, setting hosts just 36 to win
Noman takes 6-42 and Sajid claims 4-69

PAKISTAN BEAT ENGLAND BY NINE WICKETSpublished at 07:58 British Summer Time 26 October
BreakingAnd there it is!
Pakistan complete a crushing victory before lunch on day three and Shan Masood does it with a six.
He is embraced by Abdullah Shafique in the middle as the celebrations start in the stands and the home dressing room.
Pakistan's comeback is complete. They take the series 2-1.
For England, the inquest starts now.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialI love this from Shan Masood, the captain taking responsibility, just coming out and getting things done.
Pak 31-1published at 3 overs
Need five runs to win
Masood tries to finish it with a six but clunks it.
He keeps the strike...

Andy Zaltzman
Statistician on Test Match SpecialThree times in the last four matches, England have been bowled out in under 40 overs.
It happened only three times between July 1909 and June 1981 - in which time England played 466 Tests.
Pak 30-1published at 2.5 overs
It's party time for Pakistan in Rawalpindi.
Four more to Shan Masood.
Pak 26-1published at 2.4 overs
Make that Masood hits his first three balls for four!
Pak 22-1published at 2.3 overs
If you had the tiniest bit of foolish hope, forget it.
Pakistan captain Shan Masood emerges and bashes his first two balls for four.

Former England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThere was definitely two noises there, but I think it was front pad back pad.

Ayub lbw b Leach 8 (Pak 14-1)
A slight positive on a miserable day.
Saim Ayub has played for turn but there isn't really any. The ball skids on from Jack Leach and the ball tracking shows three reds.
England reviewpublished at 07:52 British Summer Time 26 October
Another review!
Ben Stokes is teasing us.
This one is actually close for lbw.
Pak 14-0published at 2 overs
Target 36
Because of the review I glossed over that last stat from Soham.
Not pretty.
Not outpublished at 07:50 British Summer Time 26 October
Even Kumar Dharmasena sounds grumpy as he goes through the replays.
There's nothing on UltraEdge.
The ball might have flicked thigh pad.
England reviewpublished at 1.5 overs
Come on, Ben.
No-one needs this.
England go upstairs for a catch down the leg side.
Pak 12-0published at 1.3 overs
It's brutal for England but this is the perfect situation for Pakistan.
The crowd has built a little for the winning moment.
It's like being on the last lap of a 1,500m race when all of the other competitors have fallen in a heap behind you.

- 102 (26.2 overs) v India, Mumbai, 1981
- 81 (30.5 overs) v Sri Lanka, Galle, 2007
- 72 (36.1 overs) v Pakistan, Abu Dhabi, 2012
- 81 (30.4 overs) v India, Ahmedabad, 2021
- 122 (39.4 overs) v India, Rajkot, 2024
- 144 (33.3 overs) v Pakistan, Multan, 2024
- 112 (37.2 overs) v Pakistan, Rawalpindi, 2024
Pak 10-0published at 1 over
Need 26 more runs to win
There are two boundaries to Saim Ayub and a no-ball by Jack Leach in the first over.
This is as bad as it gets for any team.

England scored more runs in their first innings than the remainder of the series, has that ever been done before?

Target 36
Ben Stokes comes striding out to the middle but even he, Mr Positive, must be feeling sick.
England have long said they don't focus on results. That doesn't mean they don't care. This will hurt.
Jack Leach will take the new ball.
