The only solid innings came from Moin-ud-Din, who scored 53.

In the second innings, the home side was routed by left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem (3-53) and Chawla (3-72). Sumeet Sharma claimed two wickets for 12.

Riaz Kail waged a valiant battle, scoringĀ a fighting 83 from 112 balls, inclusive of 14 fours and a six.

No 10 batsman Raza Rehman remained unbeaten on a dour 48 off 87 balls while opener Shaan Masood scored 27.

The Indian innings evolved around a sparkling 220 by Tanmay Srivastava and 146 from skipper Chawla.

India won the first 'Test' in Rawalpindi by 271 runs.

The teams now play a four-match one-day series from September 19, in Lahore.
