The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2Pakistan beat England by one wicket in a one-day international tri-series match in Lahore on Sunday 25 October, finishing on 243-9 in 47.1 overs while chasing 242. Mixed · 2England had been bowled out for 241 in 46.4 overs after Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi won the toss and chose to field; Ben Duckett made 105, his fifth ODI century, and Afridi took 4-46. Mixed · 2Pakistan looked beaten at 154-9, but Shadab Khan, playing his first game of the series, and number 11 Haris Rauf added an unbroken 89 for the last wicket. Both outlets describe this as a record for a last-wicket partnership in a successful ODI chase.

Mixed · 2Shadab finished 113 not out from 96 balls, with five sixes and 13 fours. The BBC calls it the highest score by a number eight in an ODI. Rauf made 7 not out from 19 balls and hit the winning boundary off debutant Henry Crocombe with 17 balls to spare. Mixed · 2With 21 runs still needed, Shadab was given out lbw to Gus Atkinson. He had started shaking hands with England's players when he asked for a speculative review, and DRS showed a faint inside edge, so he was reprieved. Centre · 1Tempers rose late in the chase. The BBC reports that Rauf had to be pulled away from a confrontation with England's Will Jacks after a Sam Curran bouncer was not called wide, and that Joe Root stepped in. It adds that Rauf could have been run out by Tom Banton when 18 were still needed.

Mixed · 2England's bowlers had earlier taken wickets regularly: Jamie Overton took 3-43 including two slip catches, Liam Dawson 2-30 and Jacks 1-18. Pakistan were 31-3 inside seven overs and 103-6 when Shadab came in. Debutant Razaullah took 2-38 and ran out captain Harry Brook for England. Mixed · 2The defeat comes three days after England lost to Sri Lanka despite scoring 429, in a match in which Brook made a double century. It was England's third loss in the series, after an earlier 87-run defeat to Pakistan. England are all but out, and elimination will be confirmed if Sri Lanka beat Pakistan on Tuesday. England's last game is against Sri Lanka on Thursday. Mixed · 2England coach Brendon McCullum told the BBC that the players were "absolutely gutted" and had "fought incredibly hard". The BBC notes that England are without Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell, that Josh Tongue is out with a toe injury and that Adil Rashid was left out of the XI. It says the series is meant to prepare England for the World Cup less than a year away.

Left · 1Pakistan have won all three of their matches, which the ABC says secures them a place in the final. Their last league game is against Sri Lanka on Tuesday.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
