England's bowlers, led by spinner Jack Leach, tore through the Pakistan line-up to secure victory in the first Test in Multan yesterday after a record partnership between Harry Brook and Joe Root turned the match on its head.
England's attack made short work of the last four Pakistan batters on Day five, dismissing the hosts for 220 to win by an innings and 47 runs and draw first blood in the three-match series.
The win is England's fourth consecutive Test triumph on Pakistan soil, after a 3-0 whitewash two years ago. England had only won two away Tests against Pakistan in the previous 61 years.
