England v Pakistan 1st Test Review | England Dominate at Headingley

England have made the perfect start to their three-Test series against Pakistan, cruising to a dominant innings and 103-run victory at Headingley.

The match was over in just three days, with England's bowling attack ripping through Pakistan twice to put the hosts 1-0 up in the series.

Pakistan were dismissed for just 171 in their first innings, with Abdullah Shafique top-scoring with 61. England's pace attack shared the wickets, with Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue both taking five wickets.

England then piled on the pressure with the bat, making 409. Jordan Cox impressed on debut with 73, Joe Root made 66 on his return to the captaincy, Dan Lawrence scored 51, while Harry Brook narrowly missed out on a century with 91.

Ali Usman was the pick of Pakistan's bowlers with five wickets, but England's 238-run first-innings lead left Pakistan with an enormous mountain to climb.

And they never came close.

Pakistan were bowled out for just 135 in their second innings, with Mohammad Rizwan's 41 the only significant resistance. Robinson, Tongue and Jofra Archer finished the job as England wrapped up a huge innings victory.

In this episode of In The Cordon, we break down:

Australia v Bangladesh: A Historic Day in Darwin 🇦🇺🇧🇩

Test cricket has returned to Darwin — and what a way to mark the occasion!

In this episode, we break down Bangladesh’s stunning nine-wicket victory over Australia at Marrara Stadium, their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. After Australia were bowled out for just 198, Bangladesh seized control with a huge first-innings total of 426, highlighted by a historic century from Tanzid Hasan.

Australia fought back through Cameron Green, who produced a brilliant 104 in the second innings, but Bangladesh’s bowlers held their nerve to dismiss the hosts for 284 and leave themselves just 57 runs to chase.

We discuss Hasan Mahmud’s match-winning nine wickets, Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s all-round impact, Josh Hazlewood’s 300th Test wicket, Cameron Green’s resistance, and what went so badly wrong for Australia.

Was this one of Australia’s worst Test performances in recent memory? How big is this victory for Bangladesh? And what does it mean heading into the second Test in Mackay?

All that, plus plenty of reaction and analysis from a truly historic Test match in Darwin.
