England win first Test by 354 runs
NOTTINGHAM, Aug 1: James Anderson’s match haul of 11-71 helped to wrap up a comfortable 354-run victory over Pakistan, who slumped to their lowest total against England, in the first Test at Trent Bridge on Sunday.
Pakistan, set a world-record 435 to win, were bowled out for 80 in 29 overs after resuming on 15 for three on the fourth day. England required just under two hours to take Pakistan’s last seven wickets.
Number ten Danish Kaneria top-scored with 16 not out and was one of only two batsmen to reach double figures as the Pakistanis struggled to play the moving ball throughout. The total fell short of Pakistan’s previous low against England, which was 87 at Lord’s in 1954.
