A rampaging England bundled out Pakistan for 220 to win the first Test by an innings and 47 runs in Multan on Friday.
It was the first time in the history of Test cricket that a team had lost by an innings after scoring 500-plus in their first innings.
Spinner Jack Leach wrapped up the Pakistan lower order, taking 4/30, while Gut Akinson and Brydon Carse claimed two wickets each.
Resuming on 152/6. Agha Salman and Aamer Jaamal continued to build their seventh wicket partnership. Salman glanced Atkinson for a four to bring up his fifty from 63 balls after he had scored a century in the first innings.
Leach made the breakthrough when he struck in his first over of the day. The left-arm spinner trapped Salman leg before wicket for 63, to end the 109-run stand for the seventh wicket.
Jamal also completed his fifty to take Pakistan past the 200-run mark before Leach finished off the match with a couple of wickets in his seventh over.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was caught and bowled by the left-arm spinner for 10, while Naseem Shah was stumped a couple of balls later. Abrar Ahmed was unable to bat because of an injury.
England dominated Day as they notched up their highest total in 86 years thanks to Harry Brook’s triple century and Joe Root’s double ton, declaring on 823/7 in reply to Pakistan’s 556 in the first innings.
Pakistan’s top order failed to get going in the second innings and the hosts ended day four on 152/6.
Brook was particularly severe in the afternoon as he moved through the gears to score the second-fastest triple ton of all time in 310 balls and he became only the sixth Englishman to achieve the milestone.
He is also England’s first triple centurion in 34 years as he punished Pakistan’s bowlers. Six bowlers conceded more than 100 runs for only the second time in Test history.
The record-breaking partnership also marked only the third time two players scored more than 250 in a Test innings.
Root, who eclipsed Alastair Cook as England’s top Test run-scorer on Wednesday, picked up from where he left off and became the first batsman from his country to make 20,000 international runs in the morning session with a driven boundary.
