Pakistan Defeats England in One-Day International After Late Collapse

Pakistan defeated England by one wicket in a one-day international cricket match in Lahore on Sunday after recovering from a dire position to complete an improbable run chase.

Chasing a target of 242, Pakistan slipped to 154-9 in the 34th over before Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf combined for an unbeaten 89-run partnership.

Shadab finished with an unbeaten 113 off 96 balls, recording the highest score by a number eight batsman in a one-day international.

The victory secured Pakistan a place in the tri-series final and pushed England to the brink of elimination after three consecutive defeats.

England captain Harry Brook said the team must learn to handle pressure better in tight situations.

Earlier in the match, England were bowled out for 241 in 46.4 overs after being put in to bat by Pakistan.

Opening batsman Ben Duckett top-scored for England with 105 runs from 111 deliveries, anchoring the innings despite early wickets.

Pakistan bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi applied immediate pressure by removing Tom Banton and Joe Root early in the innings.

Shaheen finished his spell with figures of 4-46, while Sam Curran contributed 42 runs for England before falling to the bowling attack.

In response, Pakistan experienced their own top-order collapse as early batsmen struggled against England's disciplined bowling attack.

Jamie Overton claimed 3-43 in a ten-over spell, reducing Pakistan to 154-9 and placing England firmly in control of the match.

The match nearly ended in the 45th over when Gus Atkinson trapped Shadab lbw, prompting players to begin shaking hands.

A television broadcast briefly displayed a result showing England winning by 20 runs before a review was requested.

According to the BBC, Yahoo Sports, and Cricbuzz, UltraEdge technology detected a tiny inside edge, forcing the umpire to reverse his decision.

Reprieved, Shadab continued his innings and shielded Rauf, who faced only 19 deliveries during the decisive 10th-wicket stand.

Rauf finished with seven not out, hitting the winning boundary off debutant Henry Crocombe in the 48th over.

England are scheduled to play their final match of the tri-series against Sri Lanka on Thursday.
