England coach Trevor Bayliss says no-one is blaming Adil Rashid for the manner of his decisive dismissal in the 178-run second Test defeat by Pakistan.

Rashid was last man out, caught at cover from a mistimed drive, to end England's stubborn resistance on day five with just 6.3 overs remaining. Prior to that, the 27-year-old spinner had batted 242 minutes for 61.

"I am sure he is reflecting on the shot he played at the end and kicking himself," said Bayliss.

"But no-one is blaming him. If a few of our boys had played in a similar fashion to him throughout the match we wouldn't have been in that situation."
