Asia-Pacific2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported40m ago
England secured an innings and 103-run victory over Pakistan in the first Test match at Headingley, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The result was largely determined by England's dominance with both bat and ball, including a significant collapse in Pakistan's second innings where they fell from 68-3 to 76-6.
England entered the third day of play with a 195-run lead after resuming their first innings at 366-8. A key factor in the rapid conclusion of the match was a spell by Josh Tongue, who claimed three wickets in six balls to dismantle the Pakistani middle order.
