💨 Abstract

England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs in the opening test, completing the victory on the fifth day. Pakistan, playing with a depleted squad due to illness, fought back with early resistance but were ultimately reduced to 220-9. England's victory came after making their highest total in 86 years, 823-7, and outplaying Pakistan on a lifeless pitch at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
