What is it that England cannot do?

Hats off to a phenomenal chase. Well done brothers.
 
England is the most resilient team at the moment. The amount of wins that they have pulled off from sticky situations across formats is remarkable. Only over a year ago they were given the tag of bottlers.

It is incredibly hard to win a series in England.

When people said the same about Pakistan in UAE then you brought up the fact that they often lost Tests at home despite avoiding series losses. Well, the same applies to England.
 
Congratulations indeed.

England were down and out. That partnership came out of nowhere.

Brilliant performance. They have that clutch gene and hence can never be counted off at any point of the game.

<I>If you have to make a bet for last laugh for any cricket team, it's England</I>.

A brilliant test which both sides deserved to win.

Thanks Pakistan for a fine batting display in the first dig and an exhibition of top fast bowling.
 
England are the better team currently. Deserved win.

Pakistan in years gone may have better teams but umpires got in the way.
Issue with them not trying 100%.

Now it was just pure skill and better quality from England.

Pakistan need to change mindset, captain and replace Yasir with batsmen rely on Shadab as spinner.
 
The win for England was fantastic. Congratulations to England and Commiserations to Pakistan.
Pakistan had it in the bag but a second innings collapse is what undid them.
I see too many knee jerk threads about chopping and changing the team. I would keep the bowling attack more or less same but may be go with one spinner.
Bring Fawad in no harm in trying him again.
Have patience with your seam bowling attack it is a learning curve for them.

Agreed but I'd pick either fawad or imaam maybe go with imaam at number 3 drop everyone down a position.
