Multan (Pakistan): Pakistan conceded a humiliating defeat against England in the Multan Test as they were outplayed in all the departments. The hosts became the first team to lose a Test match by an innings despite scoring a 500-plus total in the first innings. Harry Brook shined for the hosts with a triple century while Joe Root smashed a double hundred during his stay at the crease. Jack Leach was impressive by taking seven wickets.
England’s batting unit smashed a plethora of records with their magnificent strokeplay. Brook became the batter to score the second-fastest triple-century and also the duo of him and Root inked the highest partnership for England. Pakistan have been in poor form and they suffered their sixth Test defeat in a row on Friday. The team faced the wrath of the cricket fans and social media was flooded with reactions to the defeat.
