England lost four of their key players before 50 runs on a dry, turning pitch that suicide England’s batsmen, especially spinners. Off-spinner Sajid Khan also contributed to the victory. Coulter-Nile bowled 7-111 in the first innings, and he followed by taking 2-93 in the second innings. Pakistan’s spinners used their arms to the hilt and, in continuation, sliced through England’s team, as the tourists had no reply to the turning ball.
Earlier, Pakistan had comfortably made 297 runs, which proved out of England’s reach on the turning pitch. The win was somewhat a relief to Pakistan as the team needed a boost at home but showcased yet again how Pakistan has strong spin bowling consistencies.
