The Green Shirts had been on the ascendancy since claiming a handy first-innings lead of 77 on a track where spinners from both sides dominated.
Noman Ali (6-42) and Sajid Khan (4-69) bundled out England for a paltry 112 in their second innings to leave Pakistan needing only 36 to win the series.
Pakistan lost the wicket of Saim Ayub before wrapping up victory on day three of the contest.
Resuming their second innings at 24-3, England collapsed against Pakistan’s lethal spin attack led by Noman and Sajid, who took all 10 wickets between them
Joe Root was the top scorer with 33 in an otherwise dismal English performance on a spinning track.
Pakistan swiftly chased down the target in just 3.1 overs, with skipper Shan Masood (23*) sealing the win to clinch the three-match series.
During the match, Noman and Sajid claimed 19 of the 20 England wickets while Pakistan did not use their lone seamer Aamir Jamal at all in the match in a stark indication of how spin-friendly the surface was.
“Like London buses, they come together,” said Masood while referring to their back-to-back wins in the series.
“The first win came after a long time and it was backed up by a series win. It’s special,” he remarked.
“To be here and standing as the winning team, it’s the most special thing for us […] So many characters in this series and everyone has chipped in,” added the captain.
Sajid, who finished with a 10-wicket match haul, was adjudged player of the series.
He and Noman claimed 39 of the 40 English wickets in the last two Tests since their selection after the series opener.
