The 34-year-old is now on 511 Test wickets, within reach of West Indies’ Courtney Walsh’s tally of 519.
England captain Joe Root also handed over a signed shirt from the team to Graves, whose tenure is coming to an end.
It must be noted that England won the toss and decided to field first in the final Test against Pakistan. The hosts lead the three-match series 1-0.
