Who has given selectors food for thought? England-Pakistan player ratings

Emilio Gay - 6 - A gritty Test-best of 60 in tricky batting conditions in the first innings looked to have gone some way towards securing his place on the plane for a winter tour of South Africa, only for a duck next time round to bring back some uncertainty. (Series - 6)

Ben Duckett - 2 - A miserable end to the summer for the opener who will now come under some scrutiny. Made 11 and zero in this match and finishes this three-Test series well down the averages with a disappointing 44 runs at 8.8. (Series - 2)

Jordan Cox - 7 - A cheap dismissal in the first innings but made a nerveless unbeaten 59 to take the sting out of Pakistan after a wobble in the chase. A particularly impressive effort with the gloves - taking five dismissals - after being called upon to keep following Jamie Smith's injury may have given the selectors food for thought in the role. (Series - 7)

Joe Root - 7 - Question marks over his captaincy during Pakistan's second innings, but got England over the line with 62 not out. A 10th lbw in 14 innings suggests a technical tweak which still needs to be ironed out by England's all-time leading run-scorer. (Series - 7)

Harry Brook - 7 - Batted with real discipline and focus at a time when Pakistan had a foothold in the game on day one. His most mature Test knock this year. Ran himself out on 75 when a century beckoned but forgivable given the application he showed earlier. Finishes as leading run-scorer in the series with 215 runs at 53.75. (Series - 8)

Dan Lawrence - 7 - Having been shunted around the order the Surrey all-rounder batted with the kind of confidence to suggest he might deserve a sustained run in the middle during a measured 65. Bowling underused but a not-too-shabby batting average of 46.75 will help his winter touring prospects. (Series - 7)

Jamie Smith - 6 - Not quite back to his fluent best but will be satisfied to notch up useful half-centuries in consecutive Tests. Kept reasonably well in Pakistan's first innings before a finger injury kept him off the field in the second. (Series - 6)

Gus Atkinson - 6 - Wicketless in the first innings and it initially looked like it was going to be another hard-luck tale. However, he shook off the weariness and a change to the City End allowed him to pocket three wickets to lighten his mood. (Series - 5)

Jofra Archer - 7 - Took a bit of tap in the second innings but bowled with plenty of zip and aggression throughout. A brutal ball to dismiss Saud Shakeel was a reminder of his menace. England will be desperate to keep him fit and firing during a pivotal 12 months. (Series - 8)

Ollie Robinson - 8 - Is their anyone better with a Dukes ball in English conditions? Another masterclass in control. England's tone-setter finishes the series with 21 wickets at a miserly 8.76. A breezy half-century on day two also entertained the crowd. (Series - 9)

Josh Tongue - 7 - Mopped up the tourists' lower order in the first innings with 4-42. Healthy returns in all three Tests - 19 wickets in all - and continues to look a vital cog in the machine. (Series - 8)

Azan Awais - 7 - Still finding his feet at Test level. Made a battling 59 off 84 balls in the second innings, after Pakistan were reduced to 0-2, and looks a player worth persisting with.

Saim Ayub - 1 - Called up for this Test after wholesale changes to the Pakistan side and looked drastically undercooked having not played a first-class fixture since October last year. Almost inevitably he bagged a pair. Scrapes a point for leaving the CPL at the drop of a hat to turn up.

Abdullah Shafique - 1 - Two half-centuries in the series but under leaden skies he was easy meat for Robinson and snared by the Sussex slayer for three and nought.

Shan Masood - 8 - A tame dismissal in the first innings but rolled up his sleeves second time around as he manufactured a composed and defiant 95 to top score for the tourists.

Babar Azam - 6 - Provided a reminder that with bat in hand, on his day, he is up there with the best players in the world to watch. A classy 76 was too little, too late, and as a polarising figure in Pakistan cricket might feel the heat in his role as captain.

Saud Shakeel - 6 - Rode his luck on occasions as he top-scored in the first innings with 43 then made 29 before being on the end of rasping bouncer from Archer. Finished Pakistan's leading run-scorer in the series with 204 at 34.00.

Ghazi Ghori - 2 - A largely unremarkable debut with the bat - scores of four and 16 - and struggled keeping wicket when had to stand up to the stumps for large periods, leaking 18 byes.

Mohammad Imran - 6 - The most economical of Pakistan's bowlers who brought some vital control to curtail England's free scoring.

Razaullah Khan - 9 - A star is born. The 21-year-old brought a bit of bite to the Pakistan attack and was reminiscent of a young Waqar Younis as he took 4-148 in the first innings. Yet it was mesmerising innings of 81 with the bat, featuring a joint-best nine sixes, which left an indelible impression.

Mohammad Ali - 5 - Hunted for wickets and beat the bat on a number of occasions but lacked the necessary consistency and control. Needs to iron out his no-ball issue which cost him Root's wicket in the second innings.

Mohammad Abbas - 7 - Pakistan's 'Mr Dependable' kept stoically plugging away as he shouldered much of the bowling burden for the tourists at the age of 36. Made useful lower-order runs to help force England to bat again then got the ball talking on day four to give the hosts a fright.
