LAHORE, Pakistan, Oct 25, 2026 (Net) – Pakistan paceman Shaheen Shah
Afridi grabbed four wickets to limit England to 241 despite a fighting
century by Ben Duckett in Lahore on Sunday.
Battling to stay in the tri-series after losing their first two games,
England never fully recovered after slipping to 19-3 on a batting-friendly
pitch.
Duckett resisted with a knock of 105 off 111 balls and Sam Curran scored 42
during a 93-run fifth wicket stand, while Gus Atkinson contributed an
unbeaten 36 at the bottom of the order.
Shaheen claimed 4-46 while Razaullah took 2-38 on his ODI debut as England
were bowled out in 46.4 overs.
Duckett hit 10 fours and two sixes before falling to spinner Arafat Minhas,
who finished with 2-26.
Opting to bowl first, Shaheen removed Tom Banton for four in the opening over
— his 150th ODI wicket.
The lanky left-armer is the 13th bowler from Pakistan to take 150 or more
wickets.
In his next over, Shaheen got the prized wicket of Joe Root for five, caught
cutting a short delivery.
England plunged into further trouble when Harry Brook — who scored the
fastest-ever ODI double century in his team’s shock defeat to Sri Lanka —
was run out for one.
Duckett’s fifth ODI hundred and Curran’s resolute batting briefly steadied
England before Shaheen took two more wickets to end the innings.
