England lose first test

England squandered a promising position on the way to a 22-run defeat on the final day of the first Test against Pakistan in Multan.

The tourists began this morning with the prospect of a comfortable victory in their sights in pursuit of 198 runs to go one up in this three-match series - and they were still well-placed to coast home while Ian Bell and Andrew Strauss were putting on 57 for the second wicket.
