England slump to the worst defeat of the Bazball era
were humiliated after slumping to defeat inside two-and-a-half days in Rawalpindi as Pakistan ran out winners in this third Test by nine wickets to complete a 2-1 series victory.
The tourists, who’d had a 77-run first-innings deficit after a nightmare second day in the field, were bundled out for just 112 in their second innings – the lowest total of the Bazball era. This probably should be classed as the worst defeat yet of coach Brendon McCullum’s tenure and for England there is much soul-searching to do after losing a series in which they went 1-0 up following aMade 78 in his first innings of the series and not much after that. Poor series but damningly not the worst England batter.across the series, hitting 84 in series opener but scoring 114 and another half-century on tougher pitches in the final two Tests.Woeful. Scores of 0, 29, 22, three and one.
