England secured a remarkable and historic victory over Pakistan in the first Test, wrapping up the match on the final day with a win by an innings and 47 runs. This victory is particularly notable as England became the first team to concede over 500 runs at the start of a match and still triumph by an innings. Pakistan, who had posted a massive 556 runs in their first innings, struggled in their second, being bowled out for 220. The match concluded with Jack Leach taking two wickets in just four balls. He initiated the end by catching Shaheen Shah Afridi off his own bowling, putting Pakistan on the brink of defeat. Naseem Shah then entered the crease, hitting a six on his second ball but was stumped by Jamie Smith on his next delivery, sealing Pakistan's fate. The match was further complicated for Pakistan as Abrar Ahmed was hospitalized with a fever on Wednesday night, leaving the team short-handed as the game reached its conclusion.
