How many times has a team opened with 550+ and lost?
I can confidently say never in Test (where a team has lost by an innings). I think it's happened domestically recently. My brain is saying Glamorgan got a huge score and somehow lost by an innings. Adelaide was a disaster waiting to happen. Just knew we would capitulate.

FFS how are England going to concede 500 in the first innings and still win the game in time to play golf on the final day?

I don't think Bashir is a Test cricketer yet.

Pakistan can't complain. They had six centurions of their own. Bowlers, mind.

9 to be fair.
Oh yes, so two Pakistani players got two centuries in the match.

Unwanted stat, I reckon. Not sure there has been a match that I know of where six bowlers concede over 100 runs in the same innings

That’s a staggeringly good caught and bowled by Leach

And it’s over, Nadeem stumped to give Leach all three wickets this morning

England win by an innings and 47. First time ever a team has scored 500 in their first innings and then lost by an innings.

England win by an innings and 47 runs. From 556 in their first innings, that's an INCREDIBLE defeat for Pakistan.

England conceded 500 against New Zealand in 2022 and won, also on the last tour of Pakistan. Very entertaining.
