It was an encouraging display by the tourists, which had been twice bowled out cheaply during an innings and 114-run defeat in the first Test at Lord’s.

But after England paceman Chris Woakes made the initial breakthrough Sunday, it proved powerless to resist Bashir.

England batsman Ollie Pope was named player of the match after scoring 172 runs in total, including 121 in the first innings.
