 Moeen Ali starred with both bat and ball as England beat Pakistan by 141 runs to win the third Test at Edgbaston on Sunday Aug 07,2016
Off-spinner Moeen Ali, who earlier in the day struck a quickfire 86 not out, sealed England's win when he caught and bowled tailender Sohail Khan.
Pakistan suffered a dramatic middle-order collapse shortly before tea as they lost four wickets for just one run in 23 balls.


Victory left England 2-1 up in the four-match series ahead of next week's concluding Test at The Oval.

It also meant England had become the first team in 114 years of Test cricket at Edgbaston to win after conceding a lead of more than 100 runs batting first.

Pakistan, set a huge target of 343 for victory after England declared on 445/6 early on Sunday's final day, were dismissed for 201.

Jonny Bairstow Sets New England Wicketkeeper Run Record

 

Jonny Bairstow became the highest-scoring England wicket-keeper in a calendar year of Test cricket during his 83 concluded Sunday Aug 07,2016 in the ongoing third Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston.

That took Bairstow, the son of late England wicket-keeper David Bairstow, to 855 Test runs in 2016.
With one match remaining in the four-Test series against Pakistan, and England due to tour Bangladesh and India, the Yorkshireman could now go past 1,000 runs before the year is out.
