England completed an extraordinary innings and 47-run victory over Pakistan on the fifth day of their record-breaking opening Test after staving off a fightback from the depleted home side on Friday.


With Abrar Ahmed not batting due to illness, the tourists reduced Pakistan to 220-9 after some early resistance to spark huge celebrations among a small but vocal group of travelling English fans.




Pakistan resumed on a precarious 152-6 and Salman Agha was the first to depart in the morning after a defiant 63, with the introduction of Jack Leach helping England snap his 109-run partnership with Aamer Jamal.


England's pace bowlers peppered the two overnight batsmen with bouncers earlier and Jamal recovered after being hit on the side of the head by a fiery ball from Brydon Carse to bring up his own half-century.


He was then granted a lifeline when stand-in captain Ollie Pope put down a difficult chance at square-leg - England's fifth dropped catch of the innings - and remained not out on 55.


Leach pulled off a stunning catch off his own bowling to remove Shaheen Afridi before having Naseem Shah stumped to seal the victory.


England had declared after making their highest total in 86 years, a colossal 823-7 in 150 overs after Harry Brook's 317 and Joe Root's 262, and extracted the most out of a lifeless pitch at the Multan Cricket Stadium to rattle Pakistan on Thursday.
