Following that, Pakistan never recovered and lost their final 8 wickets for 60 runs. Leach was the best bowler and picked up four wickets, but the other bowlers also contributed effectively. In the second innings, England took its time and didn't race to the finish. Brook maintained his excellent form on tour while Duckett reached his second fifty of the contest.
