England take 2-1 lead

Moeen Ali starred with both bat and ball as England beat Pakistan by 141 runs to win the third Test at Edgbaston on Sunday.

Victory left England 2-1 up in the four-match series ahead of next week's concluding Test at The Oval.

It also meant England had become the first team in 114 years of Test cricket at Edgbaston to win after conceding a lead of more than 100 runs batting first.

Pakistan, set a huge target of 343 for victory after England declared on 445 for six early on Sunday's final day, were dismissed for 201.

Off-spinner Ali, who earlier in the day struck a quickfire 86 not out, sealed England's win when he caught and bowled tailender Sohail Khan.

Pakistan suffered a middle-order collapse shortly before tea as they lost four wickets for just one run in 23 balls.

At tea, Pakistan were 148 for seven, with Yasir Shah seven not out and Mohammad Amir 15 not out.

With all their specialist batsmen dismissed, the question for Pakistan was could their tailenders somehow survive the remaining 28 overs to hold out for a draw.
