Absolutely huge.

Not just a win in Pakistan, but on a track so flat even the groundstaff were embarrassed about it.

Nearly 1800 runs and 37 wickets with seven centurions and Will Jacks taking a sixfer on his debut. And Jimmy Anderson aged 40 grabbing four wickets on a Day Five pitch in Pakistan. Everything was back to front!

And the start was postponed by a day because practically the entire England squad was sick.

Any bets the Multan pitch will be like a ploughed field by lunch on Day 1?

I tuned in just as England took the Pakistan sixth wicket and watched spellbound as the intensity of the match culminated in a remarkable victory which included our 40 year old all time great bowler taking two wickets in an over.

Football training will be good tonight. I’m the only white guy on a team of Pakistanis.

England just won the Second Test and the series in Pakistan. Good job it didn`t go to penalties
