Pakistan bring Ashes heroes down 2-0

Cricket
Danish Kaneria and Shoaib Akhtar bowled Pakistan to victory Saturday as England collapsed to lose by an innings and 100 runs in the third and final Test in Lahore.
England, trailing by 348 runs on the first innings after Pakistan amassed a massive 636-8 declared, were bowled out for 248 in their second innings on the fifth and final day to lose the series 2-0.
It was their first-ever Test series loss in two-and-a-half years under Michael Vaughan's captaincy and was a rude awakening for a side who triumphed last summer over the mighty Australians in the Ashes.
England had beaten the West Indies (twice), South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Australia before coming unstuck in Pakistan.
The tourists lost their last eight wickets after lunch in the space of just 47 runs and 12.1 overs, with legspinner Kaneria grabbing four scalps and fast bowler Akhtar three.
Akhtar finished with 5-71 for his 12th haul of five or more wickets in a Test innings and Kaneria with 4-52 as Pakistan clinched their first Test series in two years.
Pakistan won the opening Test by 22 runs at Multan before England salvaged a draw in the second at Faisalabad.
There was no hint of a dramatic collapse in the morning session as resolute Ian Bell (92) and Paul Collingwood (80) denied Pakistan
success to raise England's hopes of saving the match with a century stand for the third wicket.
Resuming at 121-2, England were comfortably placed at 201-2 at lunch before the wickets came tumbling down against Pakistan's spin-pace combination.
Kaneria turned the match upside-down in five deliveries after the lunch-break, removing allrounder Collingwood, Kevin Pietersen (one) and Andrew Flintoff for a duck.
A triumphant Pakistan skipper Inzamamul Haq was full of praise for the way his bowlers performed throughout the series on tracks that favoured the batsmen.

session, tasted instant success when he came back over dismissing Collingwood with his fourth delivery after the break.
Collingwood, who scored 96 in the first innings, struck 12 fours in his second successive Test halfcentury and was involved in a 175-run stand with Bell before edging to Hasan Raza in the slips.
Kaneria then removed Ashes heroes Pietersen and Flintoff off successive balls in his next over to put England in deep trouble at 212-5.
Pietersen was caught by Raza while Flintoff was bowled off a googly.
Geraint Jones survived the hattrick ball, but not before a confident appeal for leg-before.
Akhtar also kept up the pressure from the other end, dismissing Bell and Jones in his opening spell after the lunch-break.
Bell hit 13 fours in his 189-ball knock before being trapped leg-before.
