Pakistan suffered an embarrassing innings and 47-run defeat to England in the first Test at Multan Cricket Stadium. Pakistan would have expected a better result after they posted 556 in the first innings, courtesy of centuries by Shan Masood, Abdullah Shafique, and Agha Salman, however, England came out all guns blazing and left Pakistan reeling with a brutal onslaught. Joe Root scored 262 runs while Harry Brook made 317 as England posted a mammoth 823/7 in their first innings. Pakistan batters failed to replicate the first-inning show and were bowled out for 220, thus losing the game by an innings and 47 runs.

Hilarious Memes Surface After England Beat Pakistan

Meanwhile, the Pakistan cricket team was brutally trolled on social media following their defeat to England. Pakistan are going through a massive lean run. The defeat against England was their sixth consecutive Test loss and seventh in nine Tests at home. After a significant fall, there are reports that PCB is mulling over sacking Shan Masood as captain. Shan was named Pakistan's captain after Babar Azam stepped down. He led Pakistan in Australia and then against Bangladesh, losing 3-0 and 2-0 respectively.

Pakistan Slip To Ninth In WTC Table

The defeat to England pushed Pakistan to ninth position in the WTC table. Pakistan's chances of reaching the WTC final are all but over after the defeat. Even if Pakistan win two Tests against England and the following two Tests against South Africa, they would struggle to finish in top 2. Meanwhile, England have turned things around in the WTC after a shaky start, however, they are not in a position to feature in the WTC final. A 3-0 win over Pakistan and a win in the following series against New Zealand won't be enough for the Three Lions to qualify for the WTC final.
