Manchester, July 29: Steve Harmison and Monty Panesar both grabbed five-wicket hauls in the second innings on the third day of the second Test at Old Trafford to shut out Pakistan for 222 to give the hosts a crushing innings and 120-run win.

This win would serve as a great tonic to the English side that pummeled to new lows against Sri Lanka in the last series and did not have the better of the exchanges in the first Test at Lord’s with Pakistan.

Harmison’s haul left him with 11 wickets for the match. Panesar finished with seven wickets for the match. Younis Khan top-scored for Pakistan with 62. England now lead the series 1-0, with the third Test starting at Headingley on Friday.

Left-arm spinner Panesar had captured the prize wickets of Mohammad Yousuf, Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and Younis Khan on his way to a return of four for 48 in 19.1 overs.

Panesar struck first ball after lunch removing the dangerous Yousuf for 15 after he drew the batsman forward and beat the outside edge before wicket-keeper Geraint Jones completed the stumping.

Pakistan were 101 for three at that stage and that became 117 for four when Panesar saw off Inzamam for an unlucky 13. The Pakistan skipper played the ball onto his toe as he pushed forward and Alastair Cook took the catch at silly point although it needed TV umpire Ian Gould to confirm the decision.

Panesar had taken two wickets for nine runs in 18 balls and, in a match coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Jim Laker’s Test world record 19 for 90 at Old Trafford, another England spin bowler was playing an important, if not quite as dramatic, role at the Manchester venue.
