Historic Innings Defeat for Pakistan as Leach Claims Four-for

England showcased a dominant performance as they posted a mammoth total of 823 for 7 declared, with standout performances from Brook (317), Root (262), Duckett (84), and Crawley (78). In response, Pakistan managed to score 556 in their first innings, with impressive contributions from Masood (151), Salman (104*), and Shafique (102). Facing a massive deficit, Pakistan faltered in their second innings, getting bowled out for 220, with Salman (63) and Jamal (55*) offering some resistance. However, it was not enough as Leach's brilliant bowling performance of 4-30 ensured England won the match by an innings and 47 runs.

From the unthinkable to the inevitable. Pakistan became the first team in Test history to lose by an innings having scored 500 in their first attempt, as England wrapped up victory inside the morning session on day five at Multan. Jack Leach finished with four wickets, a century stand between Salman Agha and Aamer Jamal not enough to save Pakistan from an unwanted record.
