England seal series win over Pakistan as Mark Wood wickets crucial in tense finish

Mark Wood fired England to series-winning glory with a devastating day four performance full of pace, heart and wickets.

Wood’s second innings 4-65 sealed a successive Test win in Pakistan for the first time for an England team as they triumphed by 26 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead with one to play. Ollie Robinson had the honour of finishing off the game when he had Mohammad Ali caught behind 50 minutes after lunch to complete yet another entertaining and thrilling Test win for this England era.

But it was the fastest bowler on either side who made all the difference as he blew the game open just before the break and then helped see it over the line to make it eight wins out of nine for the McStokes era and third series win out of three.
