Pakistan Sets Multiple Unwanted Test Records

Pakistan experienced a series of unfortunate records during their 1-0 loss to England in the first Test at Headingley. The visitors were dismissed for just 171 runs in their first innings, setting the stage for a 238-run first-innings deficit. Despite England's formidable pace attack, led by Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue, Pakistan managed to reach a total of 135 in 37.3 overs.

This performance marked the team's sixth-lowest Test score in England since 2000, with their previous low being 72 at Edgbaston in 2010. The batting collapse also resulted in Pakistan's sixth-biggest innings defeat against England, surpassing their previous record of 129 runs lost to England at Trent Bridge in 1954.
