Left-arm spinner Jack Leach took all three wickets to fall on day five's play to complete his four-wicket haul as England thrashed Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs to take a l0 lead in the three-match series at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Friday.
The astonishing win for England also makes Pakistan, who were dismissed for 220 in the second innings, the first team in Test history to lose by an innings after scoring 500 runs in their first innings.
Resuming from 152/6, Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal led Pakistan's resistance as the duo reached their respective half-centuries, apart from being helped by reprieves from stand-in captain Ollie Pope and Shoaib Bashir.
But Leach provided the breakthrough when he trapped Salman lbw for 63, as Pakistan burnt a review. He then held on to a sharp return catch of Shaheen Shah Afridi and then had Naseem Shah stumped easily. With Abrar Ahmed not coming out to bat after being in hospital since last evening due to fever and body ache, it meant England achieved one of the most remarkable wins in Test cricket.
