England thrashed Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs in the first Test in Multan on Friday to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
The humiliating defeat meant Pakistan slipped to the bottom of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 points table, while England remained in fourth position.
Pakistan is on a six-match losing streak in Test cricket, which includes a humbling 0-2 defeat to Bangladesh at home. Its only wins in the ongoing WTC cycle came against Sri Lanka during a 2-0 away Test series triumph.
