Only twelfth time in Test historical past and second time for England {that a} Number 11 batter (Saqib Mahmood -49 runs) is the best scorer within the innings. The first England participant to do it was Steve Harmison (42 vs South Africa in Cape Town in 2005). #WIvEng

Jack Leach is such an admirable cricketer and character. Has labored bloody onerous on his batting with Marcus Trescothick for years, in all probability realizing how straightforward England have discovered it to depart him out. With Pakistan in December, he is an essential participant England have to nurture additional.
