Pakistan whitewash England
DUBAI: Bowlers sealed an emphatic 71-run win in the third and final Test against England on Monday, wrapping up a humiliating 3-0 series whitewash in the process. Set a daunting 324-run target, England were bowled out for 252 with Umar Gul taking 4-61 and off-spinner Saeed Ajmal 4-67 to help Pakistan achieve a first-ever Test clean sweep against their opponents. With the ball turning again it was always going to be a difficult task for England’s batsmen, who have struggled to play the spinners throughout the series, on a weary fourth day pitch at Dubai Stadium. Pakistan won the first Test by 10 wickets and the second by 72 runs in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan have also become the first team to win a Test after being bowled out for under 100 since 1907 when England, shot out for 76, beat South Africa at Leeds. It was England’s seventh series whitewash, their first at the hands of Pakistan. Pakistan have now recorded five series whitewashes, their last coming in a 3-0 win over Bangladesh in 2003.
