Spinner Monty Panesar destroyed Pakistan8217;s top order to inspire England to a crushing innings and 120-run defeat on the third day of the second Test on Saturday.
The left-arm spinner took five for 72 as Pakistan, 342 runs behind after the first innings, were dismissed for 222 in the final session of the day.
Pace bowler Steve Harmison, who took a remarkable six for 19 in the first innings, swept away the lower order to take five for 52 and claim the first 10-wicket haul of his Test career.
Panesar8217;s performance, one of the most memorable exhibitions of spin bowling by an England player, helped give England a 1-0 lead in the four-Test series.
No other England bowler took a wicket in the entire match.
Harmison had broken through in the morning with a brute of a delivery to dismiss Kamran Akmal 4 after Pakistan resumed on 12 without loss.
Panesar snared Pakistan8217;s key men, Mohammad Yousuf 15 and skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq 13, in the space of three overs before adding Younis Khan 62 to his list of victims.
Brief scores
Pakistan 119 and 222 I Farhat 34, Younis Khan 62, M Panesar 5-72, S Harmison 5-57 lost to England 461-9 dec
