England became the first team in history to win a Test match by an innings despite giving up more than 500 runs in the opening innings as they defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs in an incredible encounter. Pakistan struggled as their top order failed, eventually surrendering for 220 runs in their second innings, with a daunting 115-run deficit going into the final day.
Aamer Jamal finished with an undefeated 55, while Agha Salman scored 63. Both players showed remarkable tenacity. With 109 runs between them, their partnership was a crucial seventh-wicket stand for Pakistan. But after Jack Leach removed Salman, Pakistan's innings fell apart quickly. Leach finished with great numbers of 4 for 30, but England's historic victory was set in motion by the brilliant performances of Joe Root and Harry Brook, who scored 317 and 262 respectively in the first innings.
