England overcame a major wobble to beat Pakistan by eight wickets in the third Test at Edgbaston on Saturday, sealing a 3-0 series sweep.

Pakistan cricket’s latest upheaval has drawn sharp criticism from former England captain Nasser Hussain, who said the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had turned a difficult situation into a laughingstock with its handling of the team’s crisis in England.

Former Pakistan coach Jason Gillespie said Friday chairman of selectors Aaqib Javed needs to "look at himself in the mirror" with the national team "playing with fear".

Dan Lawrence's unbeaten fifty on Saturday left Pakistan needing to rewrite the record books in their quest for a series-levelling win against England in the second Test at Lord's.
