Cricket:James Anderson's first 10-wicket match haul carried England to victory by 354 runs as Pakistan folded to 80 all out in the first npower Test at Trent Bridge today.
Pakistan, needing a improbable 435 to win, began the fourth day on an overnight 15 for three.
After another hapless display against high-class fast bowling from Anderson (six for 17) and Steve Finn, at a ground which is increasingly synonymous with swing, the tourists were shot out in 29 overs quarter-of-an-hour before lunch.
This morning's most pertinent question very soon became not whether Pakistan could get anywhere near their distant world-record target but if they could at least better their worst ever total of 87 against England.
After Anderson then struck twice in successive overs, on his way to a match haul of 11 for 71, even Pakistan's all-time lowest score of 53 against all opponents entered the equation.
Under slightly brighter skies than those that had prevailed for most of this match, there was swing for Anderson and Stuart Broad in the first half-hour.
But neither got the ball in the danger zone until the Lancastrian found a little extra bounce with one that also held its line from round the wicket and had opener Imran Farhat fencing a catch to Andrew Strauss at first slip.
Anderson followed up in his next over, an inswinger pinning Umar Akmal lbw - and using up Pakistan's second and final DRS failure too.
Finn, replacing Broad at the pavilion end, then had nightwatchman Mohammad Aamer slicing a drive to be caught at gully in his first over.
Farhat was the only batsman to have managed double-figures, and Anderson was tormenting his opponents and already had his previous Test best of nine for 98 - against New Zealand here in 2008 - in his sights.
Finn was having something to say about that, sending Kamran Akmal back for a pair when the wicketkeeper went to pull and had no recourse to the salvation of DRS after umpire Tony Hill gave him out lbw.
But Umar Gul was next in - and fresh from his unbeaten 65 in the first innings, almost immediately drove Finn down the ground for his first boundary.
The unrelenting Anderson soon had Gul edging more full-length swing high to third slip - where Paul Collingwood took his second outstanding catch of the innings - and Pakistan had lost five wickets for just 19 runs.
Danish Kaneria clipped Anderson for an unexpected boundary off his legs to at least take Pakistan past that worst ever innings total, in a match where they mustered little more than 100 for all 20 wickets against Australia in Sharjah in 2002.
The end was clearly nigh, however, and Anderson had his 10th wicket when Collingwood took another fine slip catch - this one just off the ground - to see off Shoaib Malik.
Kaneria pulled Finn for a six and a four in one over, on his way to top-scoring. But the surrender was complete when Graeme Swann juggled a slip catch to make number 11 Mohammad Asif Anderson's final victim in a match which has seen England miss almost nothing in the field.
