Pakistan Makes Unwanted History as First Team to Lose Test Match After Scoring 500+ Runs

The Pakistan cricket team seems to be going through a tough phase. After losing a home series to Bangladesh, they have now faced a crushing defeat against England. In the first Test against England, Pakistan started strong, putting up a massive first-innings total of 556 runs. However, despite this, Pakistan suffered an embarrassing defeat by an innings and 47 runs in Multan.

This loss marked a historic low in Test cricket for Pakistan, as they became the first team to lose by an innings after scoring over 500 runs in their first innings.

In this match, Pakistan initially appeared to be in a better position, but England's colossal second-innings total of 823/7 declared completely turned the game around. Harry Brook's triple century and Joe Root’s brilliant 262 runs put Pakistan under immense pressure.

Pakistan’s bowling crumbled before England’s strong batting lineup, and in their second attempt at batting, they failed to deliver a strong performance. This defeat highlighted the ongoing challenges Pakistan faces in Test cricket.

With this loss, questions have started to arise about Pakistan’s consistently poor performance in Test matches, signaling the urgent need for the team to reevaluate its strategy and approach.
