Pakistan beat England narrowly by one wicket in a thrilling encounter on Sunday, October 25. The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore hosted the fourth match of the Tri-Series tournament. Pakistan skipper Shaheen Afridi won the toss and opted to bowl first in the contest.

English bowlers performed magnificently and reduced Pakistan to 154/9, putting their side in the driver's seat. All-rounder Shadab Khan then played a sensational knock of 113 (96) and helped Pakistan clinch an unlikely victory.

"We probably didn't quite get enough runs" - Harry Brook after England's loss vs Pakistan in Tri-Series 2026

Speaking at the post-match presentation, English skipper Harry Brook reflected on the loss, saying (as quoted by Cricbuzz):

"I thought we did an exceptional job to restrict them to, well, to us nearly winning the game. Obviously we probably didn't quite get enough runs on the board, but the effort that the boys put with the ball and in the field was absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for any more. Duckey's played (an) exceptional innings. Fifth ODI hundred, which came at a good time, so he played really well."

Brook continued:

"And again that partnership that him and Sam (Curran) had together put us in a decent position to try and kick on from there. Unfortunately we lost a couple more wickets in quick succession, but the way that Gus (Atkinson) finished the innings off was awesome. We've obviously got to hope that Pakistan beat Sri Lanka, but we've got to just focus on what we can do against Sri Lanka, really, and try and beat them by a big margin, I think.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka will square off in the next match of the Tri-Series on Tuesday, October 27, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
