He struck twice in the very first over to send England openers Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay back to the hut. Later in the innings, Abbas could have got the wicket of Joe Root as well, but a fielding blunder from Pakistan saw the opportunity go begging. Pakistan suffered a 3-0 Test series whitewash at the hands of England after losing the third and final game by eight wickets. Chasing a 130-run target in the final innings of the third game at Edgbaston, Birmingham, the Three Lions faced some early jitters as Mohammad Abbas breathed fire with the ball.
After sensational six-hitting by No. 9 batter Razaullah Khan had helped force a fourth day, Pakistan bowler Mohammad Abbas gave England another scare on Saturday in the third cricket Test by reducing the hosts to 2/2 in the first over. But captain Joe Root (62 not out) and Jordan Cox (59 not out) came to the hosts’ rescue as England successfully chased down a target of 130 runs.
