After the most chaotic of summers, England have a much-needed Test win after Pakistan were beaten by an innings and 103 runs at Headingley.

Here are our playing ratings from the three-day contest:

Emilio Gay: Only batted once given Pakistan’s poor performance and played nice shots in a breezy 33. His dismissal was the fourth time in his four-Test career he has been caught nicking off to the wicketkeeper or the slips, however. It is a problem. 4

Ben Duckett: A quiet Test in which he made only 15 and burned a review despite being plumb lbw. Took a straightforward catch in his new fielding position after Joe Root vacated first slip. 5

Jordan Cox: Encouraging. Filling in for the injured Jacob Bethell, Cox played with authority and calmness in making 73 at number three. He batted at the ideal tempo and though he missed the chance to reach a maiden international century the next two Tests look an ideal opportunity to press his case. 8

Joe Root: Root cannot have wished for a better start to his second stint as captain. His return brought a calmness to the whole set-up and his batting appeared unaffected as he made 66 on day two. Pakistan’s second innings also included dismissals caught at leg slip and backward square leg, although those were as much down to batter error as Root’s ingenuity. 8

Harry Brook: Another big positive for England. Like the other batters, his mark comes with the caveat of Pakistan’s bowling attack being poor but, after all that has come before, Brook batted as many have asked him to. He cruised to 91 from 93 balls while barely taking a risk. 8

Dan Lawrence: Made a decent 51 on his return to the Test side but missed the chance to really push his case as England’s makeshift all-rounder – hence why he looked so angry when he top-edged a sweep. 6

Jamie Smith: Played a poor shot to fall for 25 on the third morning when runs were there for the taking. More pressure may come if Cox continues to make scores, though he is not alone there. Gains a mark for an improved keeping performance. He stood up to Ollie Robinson with minimal fuss. 6

Gus Atkinson: Bowled better than figures of 1-51 suggest but looked short of rhythm, unsurprising given he had previously been bowling in The Hundred. 5

Ollie Robinson: Player of the match? Absolutely. Yes, conditions suited and Pakistan’s batting was sub-standard, but Robinson’s 5-51 in the first innings was him at his very best. After career-best match figures of 8-80, plug him in as attack leader for the next five Tests. 8

Jofra Archer: Better in the second innings than the first when he struggled with his lines and bowled too short in returning 0-26. An important task for Root is helping Archer find his best consistently. 6

Josh Tongue: Eight wickets in the match, the same as Robinson, is remarkable given Tongue started quite poorly on day one. He looked horrible to face and appeared well-suited to a four-strong pace attack when Root could pick his moments to unleash the burly quick. 8

Azan Awais: Hard to give much more after a first-ball duck and a 14-ball nine. Facing Robinson in these conditions was a tough first exposure to Test cricket in England. 2

Imam-ul-Haq: Lined up OK in the first innings while making 42 until a loose drive opened the door and began a collapse from 97-2 to 171 all out. 4

Shan Masood: Possibly generous after scores of five and 29. 4

Abdullah Shafique: The only Pakistan batter to reach fifty or emerge with any crumb of credit after 61 in the first innings. 6

Saud Shakeel: Averages 50 at home and 30 away. Not ideal. His second-innings dismissal, flicking to backward square leg as he lost his balance, was as tame as they come. 3

Salman Agha: A return of 25 runs from his two innings and he did not bowl. Also failed to inspire his players in the field while standing in as captain. If he was not vice-captain he would surely be certain to be replaced if Babar Azam is fit again for Lord’s. 3

Muhammad Rizwan: Showed some fight in making 41 in Pakistan’s second innings but should have at least tried standing up to the stumps to Muhammad Ali when Brook was batting. 4

Ali Usman: Pakistan’s spinner bowled some good balls in taking 5-95 – his first Test five-for in his third Test. He also bowled far too many down the leg side. A real mixed bag. 5

Khurram Shahzad: While it is a low bar, he was the pick of Pakistan’s seamers. His three wickets cost 133 runs at more than six runs per over. 4

Muhammad Abbas: Could have and should have been a handful in the conditions but was disappointing. 4

Mohammad Ali: It is not his fault Pakistan picked an attack with so little pace. Ubaid Shah, Naseem Shah’s younger brother, should come in next week. 3
