When Pakistan turned a draw into a demolition | Pakistan vs England | 3rd Test 2005 | PCB | MA2K England were on the brink of saving the Test. Then Pakistan unleashed one of the most devastating spells of bowling imaginable. From 205 for 2, England collapsed to 212 for 6 as Shoaib Akhtar and Danish Kaneria ripped through the batting line-up in just 69 balls. Kaneria began the destruction with his variations, removing Paul Collingwood before completely bamboozling Andrew Flintoff and Matthew Hoggard with his googly. At the other end, Shoaib Akhtar used his extraordinary pace — and an increasingly deadly slower ball — to dismantle England's middle and lower order. Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood had given England hope of forcing a draw, but Pakistan's attack produced a breathtaking final afternoon. Eight England wickets fell in just 69 balls, sealing an innings-and-100-run victory and a 2-0 series win for Pakistan. Shoaib finished with a five-wicket haul while Kaneria's spell exposed England's inability to deal with Pakistan's combination of world-class pace and unorthodox spin. It was the kind of collapse that belongs in Test cricket folklore. Watch the full story of the afternoon when Pakistan turned England's hope into complete destruction. #PakistanCricket #EnglandCricket #ShoaibAkhtar #DanishKaneria #TestCricket Buy official Pakistan Cricket merchandise: https://shop.pcb.com.pk/ Welcome to the official page of Pakistan Cricket Board.
