The story, neutrally told

Centre · 2Pakistan beat England by one wicket in an ODI tri-series match in Lahore on Sunday 25 October, after recovering from 154-9 in the 34th over while chasing 242. Centre · 2All-rounder Shadab Khan made an unbeaten 113 from 96 balls, with 13 fours and five sixes, and shared an unbeaten 89-run last-wicket stand with Haris Rauf, who scored 7 from 19 balls. Centre · 3The outlets report the 89-run stand as the highest 10th-wicket partnership in a successful ODI chase, and The National and Gulf News add that Shadab's score is the highest by a batter at No. 8 or lower in ODIs.

Centre · 2Rauf hit the winning boundary, with Pakistan finishing on 243-9 in 47.1 overs, 17 balls to spare. Centre · 2Shadab was given out lbw to Gus Atkinson with 21 runs needed, but a review showed an inside edge and he survived; The National says the players had already started walking off. Centre · 2England were bowled out for 241 in 46.4 overs, with opener Ben Duckett scoring 105, and Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi took 4-46.

Centre · 2Pakistan had been reduced by Jamie Overton (3-43), Gus Atkinson (2-62) and Liam Dawson (2-30), according to The National, after being 103-6 when Shadab came in at the 24th over, according to CNA. Centre · 2The result puts Pakistan in the tri-series final, while England have lost all three of their matches, including the previous defeat by Sri Lanka, who chased 430 after England scored 429; The National says England are unlikely to qualify. Centre · 1Afridi said he had never seen a finish like it, while England captain Harry Brook said his side did little wrong with the ball but did not score enough runs.

Centre · 1Shadab later posted on X that he dedicated the win to his mother and wife and praised Rauf, saying "we win only as a team".
