England completed a breathtaking victory in the first Test against Pakistan, Jack Leach putting the finishing touches to a record-breaking week on the fifth morning in Multan.

The left-arm spinner snapped up the last three wickets on the final day, with last man Abrar Ahmed unable to bat due to illness, to secure one of the most remarkable results of the ‘Bazball’ era.

The final winning margin was an innings and 47 runs, an unthinkable proposition when Pakistan ended with 556 runs on day two. No team in history has ever scored as many and gone on to lose without making their opponents bat twice.
