So, that is it from us. It has been a fascinating test match right throughout, with the balance swinging regularly. Pakistan looked down and out same time yesterday but were pulled out of the dungeons by their young performers to give them a score they could fight with. In the end that proved to be more than enough as England buckled under pressure and collapsed in a heap to the spin of Ajmal and Rehman. This is Krish along with Darshan and Arun saying adios. 

Misbah: First of all I would like to thank Almighty, that was much needed victory for us, wonderful team effort, everybody put their 100%, what we were looking before start of the series we achieved that. Worried about the lead, we were looking for 325, we were short by 60 - 70 runs. Azhar and Shafiq playing under pressure, wonderful performance. I was hoping that 125 - 130 could be a good fight. One thing you want from youngsters is temperament. England is No.1 but they have crumbled. Our youngsters performed under pressure. I was having belief in my bowlers, if the pitch is turning then there is a belief, we play spin well, and we struggled. So, it is difficult to play Rehman and Ajmal. The ball turned sometimes and didn't turn sometimes, it was keeping low. We will try to go and play good cricket. That is another day and another game.  I would like to thanks the crowd and thank you to the curators to produce a wicket, supporting us. What a well spoken person, looks calm, not over excited. 

 

Strauss: We are feeling down and disappointed but it is important to acknowledge that Pakistan played well and they deserve to win the series. I wish I could explain, very good bowling, applying pressure, we didn't take our options well, outstanding game of cricket, fantastic wicket. We came out short but ultimately, you have to congratulate Pakistan. You need to spend a time and things get easier, there is balance between defence and attack. We got into a good position, Monty was good, Cook and Broad were good. We couldn't take our opportunities. You have got to keep your pad out of the way. Longer you spend, easier it gets. We have been rolled over 3 out of 4 times and the top order has to take that on the chin and come back. We have to show our resilience.

Rehman: Thanks to my Allah and management, first time I have received 5-for, lot of times I stopped at 4, so thanks to Allah, yesterday we were thinking 150 were enough. We decided to bowl line and length. Ajmal is the great partner, he is No.1 bowler, he has given me lot of confidence from the other end.

Hussain calls this a special day for Pakistan, the country and Pakistan, the cricket team. Pakistan are the better side, according to Hussain. 

Rameez Raja - A team which is supposed to be unpredictable has become predictable under Misbah ul Haq. Much needed win for the nation.

Mohsin Khan and Andy Flower have a long and serious chat. Wonder what the discussion is about, but take a bow to Pakistan's interim coach and their Rock of Gibraltar captain! The Pakistani fielders are lifting Mohsin Khan in the air, great scenes and even the calm Misbah looks pumped up.

They are jubilant. Misbah punches the air, Hafeez has stumps, Mohsin Khan looks calm, hugs the support staff and the Pakistan fielders in the middle are hugging each other. Great scenes for a team that has come from behind in this test to clinch the series. The spinners have taken all the wickets and England will have to do some soul searching about playing on turning tracks to quality spinners, if they have to justify their ranking.
