For England, left-arm-spinner Jack Leach dismissed three batters in the first inning.
In reply, the tourists hammered a gigantic score of 823-7 on the board, thanks to Joe Root’s knock of 262 runs and Harry Brook’s 317 run inning. The duo of Brook and Root stitched a big partnership of 454 runs against a good-looking Pakistani bowling-attack.

However, the duo of Aamer Jamal (55* runs) and Salman Ali Agha (63 runs) played retaliatory knocks, before their team got all-out for 220 runs and lost the contest by an inning and 47 runs. Harry Brook was awarded the Man-of-The-Match award for his stupendous Triple-Century.
