The remaining four matches are drawn. This is the longest losing streak of any team on home ground of 11 matches.
Pakistan waiting for one victory
You will be surprised to know that Pakistan won its last Test match at home against South Africa on 8 February 2021. That means Pakistan has not got victory for 1341 days. Even after 3 years, 8 months and 6 days, Pakistan is still looking for a win. From this it can be estimated how deep Pakistan cricket has gone.
Pakistan’s bowlers were badly beaten in the first test. This can be clearly gauged from the partnership of 454 runs for the fourth wicket between Joe Root and Harry Brook. Pakistan’s bowlers bowled 150 overs (900 balls) in this match in which only one over was maiden. This is the record for the most overs bowled by a team that bowled only one maiden over in a Test innings. Pakistan team will now play the second match of the 3-match Test series in Multan from October 15. Now it will be interesting to see whether the host Pakistan team is able to make a comeback in the series or is successful in taking an unassailable lead in England.
