Abdur Rehman (second left) is congratulated after bowling Eoin Morgan
England crumbled to a 72-run defeat in the second Test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi to lose the three-match series.
Chasing 145 to win, the tourists were bowled out for 72, with left-arm spinner Abdur Rehman taking 6-25.Only Andrew Strauss and Matt Prior reached double figures as England wilted under the pressure applied by the Pakistan spin bowlers.
Earlier, Monty Panesar ended with 6-62 as Pakistan were bowled out for 214, before the tourists disintegrated.
Panesar's efforts looked to have England well placed to level the series, but instead Strauss's side slipped to their lowest-ever total against Pakistan and their first series defeat since 2009.
