In the final two Test matches, the spin combination captured 39 of 40 England wickets, and their timed and convenient cameos further shattered the visitors.
Pakistan won their first home Test series since February 2021 when they defeated South Africa 2-0.
‘Disappointing’
Ben Stokes responded to the series loss by saying that losing games for England is painful and upsetting before emphasizing the importance of consistency.
“Losing games for England hurts so it’s disappointing,” said Ben Stokes.
“We need to do things for longer. As I said, we did good things in very small amounts of times at certain points throughout the second game and this game. But when you don’t sustain that, you know you’re always going to start falling away,” Ben Stokes added.
