Pakistan's cricket team faced a devastating collapse in the final Test against England, being bowled out for just 133 runs within 34 overs. This followed a turbulent week where seven players were sent home, and head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and assistant Umar Gul were replaced due to off-field issues and poor performances. Sky Sports' Michael Atherton described the batting as 'thoroughly miserable' and noted the team's low confidence, saying 'the chickens are coming home to roost.' The defeat highlights Pakistan's ongoing struggles, with only one victory in their last seven Tests.

The team's morale and performance have been severely impacted by the off-field turmoil, making a quick fix seem unlikely.
