Jack Leach took the final wicket of an incredible Test match and immediately declared the win to be ‘better than Headingley.’
Leach has played a central role in England’s two most stunning wins of recent times, both here and as the perfect foil to Ben Stokes’ greatest innings against Australia at Headingley in the 2019 Ashes.
And the left arm-spinner, who secured a lifetime’s supply of spectacles from Specsavers for his rearguard action in Leeds, reckons this win in Pakistan comes out on top. With so many team-mates playing crucial roles in the win, it coming away from home, and on such a flat pitch, Leach is sure of a new No.1 in his eyes.
