England finished the job in the third and final Test match against Pakistan this week. In another dominant display Brook, Stokes, and the rest of the gang were joined by 18 year old Rehan Ahmed who entered the fun by taking a maiden 5 for.  How historic was this "historic performance"? Can anyone stop England? Is the real story that Pakistan are bad?

England triumphed over Pakistan with both teams going for the win, a magical debut from Abrar Cadabra Ahmed, another century for Harry Brook and England taking 20 wickets to record their 8th win in 9 test matches.  Abrar took 11 wickets in the match on debut with his mystery spin, Shakeel battled but then was given out by a catch that wasn't a catch but was a catch, but for all of Pakistan's toil, they were no match for Mark Wood's pace, Ollie Robinson's skill, Harry "the next Virat Kohli" Brook's technique or Ben Duckett's reverse sweep.  Our biggest question, has Jack Leach ever played a reverse sweep in his life?

England pulled off a miracle as they overcame Pakistan on the flattest highway seen outside of Kansas! In a Test match which came to life on day 5 (after 4 of the most boring days in the history of the sport) England were able to take regular wickets to finish off the Pakistan team shortly after tea.  Why did Pakistan prepare the worst surface in the history of the sport? Is Ben Stokes the greatest captain in the history of the sports? Will England ever lose again? All that and more as the boys from The Cricket Podcast get together to talk about a Test which will live long in the memory.  Our Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecricketpod Our channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1njF-8tUuQVbTZVyUaoBcQ/join Our website: www.thecricketpod.com Learn more about your ad choices.
