In the latest Test match against Pakistan at Birmingham, England's bowlers once again left the visitors struggling, being dismissed for a mere 133. Only Saud Shakeel managed a 43, as all of Pakistan's top five batters struggled to score double digits. This is the first time in Test match history that this has occurred in England.
The stark contrast to India's tour last summer is evident, as Shubman Gill led the way with a series of impressive performances, scoring four centuries and averaging 75.40. Pakistan's batting failures continue, with no player managing a century during their five innings on the tour, and only two fifties to their name. Captain Babar Azam has struggled, scoring three single-digit scores in the series.
Despite wholesale changes, including the dismissal of coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul, Pakistan's batting performance remained embarrassing.
