England beat Pakistan by eight wickets in the third and final Test in Karachi Tuesday to sweep the series 3-0 and hand the Pakistanis their first home whitewash. 

“It won’t really sink in until we get home or in the new year,” skipper Ben Stokes said after securing the clean sweep. Resuming on 112-2, England reached the modest 167-run target in just 38 minutes, with Ben Duckett and Stokes finishing unbeaten on 82 and 35 respectively. This was England’s first Test tour of Pakistan since 2005.  Stokes praised England’s adaptability on slow pitches. “We’ve got a process we want to play but the challenge was the different pitches for every Test,” he said. Stokes said his bowlers stuck to the task well. “Whoever I threw the ball to, they seemed to deliver. The commitment and mindset has been top drawer.”
