On Day 4 of the Test match, Harry Brook made history by scoring a remarkable triple century, helping England reach a massive total of 823/7. In response, Pakistan struggled badly and ended the day at 152/6 after 37 overs. The final day began with Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal batting, while Gus Atkinson began the proceeding with the ball for England. With a huge deficit to cover, Pakistan’s situation looked dire. Their woes continued when Brydon Carse was dismissed by Aamer Jamal in the 45th over.
England was just three wickets away from victory when Salman fell, followed by Shaheen Shah Afridi, leaving Pakistan in a tough spot. Naseem Shah was also dismissed, and with Abrar Ahmed unable to bat due to illness, England secured their win by an innings and 47 runs. This match marked Pakistan’s sixth straight loss in Test cricket and their seventh defeat at home in their last nine Tests.
Brutal
Unbelievable
Pakistan is the first team in 147 years history of Tests to lose by an innings after scoring 500. #PakvEng

Jamal stands out
Feels nice to see an instinct come good. When I worked on two Australia-Pakistan tests last year, the two stand out characters for me were Salman Agha and Aamer Jamal. When Pakistan do rebuild eventually on an attitude first platform, those two and Naseem Shah will be at the core

Masterclass
Salman Agha and Aamer Jamal showed the Pakistan top order how to bat on this track.

Unbeaten
Aamer Jamal remained unbeaten on 55 in the end, but his first Test on home soil was one to forget.
