England secured a stunning victory over Pakistan in the first Test match in Multan, winning by an innings and 47 runs. Jack Leach, returning after an eight-month absence, played a pivotal role, taking four wickets on the final day and finishing with match figures of 7-190. This result marked a historic moment, as no team had ever scored over 500 runs in the first innings and lost by an innings. Pakistan had initially dominated the match, but England's aggressive batting and Leach's bowling turned the tide dramatically. Leach's standout performance reaffirms his importance to England's bowling attack, especially as they prepare for the upcoming second Test. Despite his absence from the team, Leach's skills have solidified his position as England's primary spin option going forward.
