England beaten by 10 wickets



Amazingly, England fell short in their first series as world Test number ones, only Jonathan Trott delayed their downfall, as they were bowled out for 160 to lose this first match of three by 10 wickets.

Few could have imagined England would stumble at the first hurdle, against fast-improving opponents Pakistan. Captain Strauss admitted, England batted poorly in their first-innings for 192 - and it seemed unthinkable that they would not perform much better second time round.

In the first innings, it was off-spinner Saeed Ajmal – who finished with a match haul of 10 for 97 , while in second innings, England lost their top four to pacer Umar Gul (4-63).

Good luck Pakistan for Next one on 25 Jan.
