Pakistan vs England (Source: Twitter)
The third Test between Pakistan and England reached its culmination on Day 4 as England resumed their innings on 112/2 with Ben Duckett and Ben Stokes at the crease. England required another 55 runs to finish a historic whitewash in Pakistan.
Stokes began the proceedings in style scoring a boundary in just the second over of the day. Duckett also joined the party three overs later as he scored consecutive boundaries against Abrar Ahmed. The duo completed the 50-run stand for the third wicket off just 62 balls as Pakistan bowlers waited for the imminent disaster upon them.
Ben Duckett finished things in style on the first ball of the 29th over as he scored a boundary through cover point and England won the Test by 8 wickets on Day 4. As a result, the Ben Stokes-led side completed a 3-0 whitewash over Pakistan. Ben Duckett remained unbeaten on 82 while Stokes remained on 35 not out.
It was for the first time ever that Pakistan were whitewashed at their home and also lost four consecutive Tests including the last Test against Australia. Ben Duckett remained unbeaten on 82 while Stokes remained on 35 not out.

Just remove Babar Azam as captain and his statpad partner Rizwan. Make some interim captain until giving role to a promising player like Shadab Khan. At this time even Shan Masood will be better than bharwa Azam atleast he will set his own field and not ask keeper.#PAKvsENG
Pakistan is white washed by England by 3-0 first time in history. All credit goes to Mr. Mohammad Wasim the chief selector of PCB for picking so many debutants nd ignoring experienced players like Inform Fawad Alam. #PAKvsENG Babar Azam
