Pakistan Level Series with 10-wicket win

London: Pakistan completed a 10-wicket win over England on day four at The Oval to earn a 2-2 draw in the four-match series.

Resuming 126 runs behind at 88-4, England began well with consecutive half-century stands.

But two wickets fell in successive balls after lunch, including the enterprising Jonny Bairstow for 81 from 127 balls, and they were 253 all out.

Spinner Yasir Shah took 5-71 and, set a paltry 40 to win, Azhar Ali sealed the match with a six soon after tea.

The teams will next meet again in limited overs cricket.

A five-match one-day international series begins on 24 August, followed by a Twenty20 international on 7 September.
