England Wins First Test Against Pakistan by Innings

England achieved a historic victory over Pakistan in the first Test at Multan, winning by an innings and 47 runs despite conceding a staggering 556 runs in Pakistan's first innings. Jack Leach played a pivotal role on the final day, taking the last three wickets, finishing with figures of 4 for 30, which highlighted his return to form after injury. This match marks the first time in Test history that a team has scored over 500 runs in their first innings and still lost without the opponents batting twice. England's dominance was propelled by Harry Brook's remarkable triple-century of 317 and Joe Root's 262, leading to a total of 823 runs for England before declaring. Leach's performance secured a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, with England aiming to clinch the series in the upcoming second Test. The defeat is particularly shocking for Pakistan, who were left reeling after a promising start to the match.
