Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf complete one-wicket win for Pakistan over England

Pakistan beat England by one wicket in a one-day international in Lahore on Sunday, with the last two batters carrying them home. The result came in the fourth match of the Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka tri-series, a round-robin group of one-day games in Pakistan.

England batted first and made 241 in 46.4 overs, according to BBC Sport. Ben Duckett led the way with 105 off 111 balls. Shaheen Shah Afridi took 4-46 for Pakistan, while Jamie Overton returned 3-43 for England.

Pakistan needed 242 to win. They slid to 154-9, with only one recognised batter left and the tail to come. Then Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf put on an unbroken 89 for the 10th wicket, the last pair in the order.

Shadab finished on 113 not out from 96 balls. He batted at number eight, which makes it the highest one-day score ever made from that position. Rauf made seven not out, and his partnership with Shadab is a record for a last-wicket pair winning a one-day international.

The chase had its tense moment. On 97, Shadab was given out lbw (leg before wicket, when the ball would have hit the stumps) to Gus Atkinson, with 22 runs still needed. He reviewed the decision, and replays showed an inside edge, so the decision was overturned and he stayed in.

Rauf finished it off. He hit the winning boundary off Henry Crocombe, who was making his debut, with 17 balls to spare. Pakistan's total was 243-9 in 47.1 overs.

The win follows a strong run for Pakistan in this series. The Pakistan Cricket Board reported on 20 October that Arafat Minhas had taken 6-40 and scored 59 to sink England, and that Pakistan had won consecutive games. This was the second straight win for Pakistan, against an England side that has now lost two matches in the series.

The tri-series runs between 18 and 31 October across Rawalpindi and Lahore. England's next match is against Sri Lanka at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 29 October, with the top two sides due to meet in the final.

For casual fans, the match shows how quickly a one-day innings can change. A side at 154-9 looks finished. Shadab and Rauf kept the target in sight by scoring steadily and taking the odd single, not by swinging for the fences. Once the score reached the target, the match was over.
