English spinner Rehan Ahmed has created history, becoming the youngest player to take a five-wicket haul on Test debut.
The teenager, who is in the midst of his first match for England at 18 years and 126 days old, tore through Pakistan in the second innings of their clash in Karachi.
After returning figures of 2/89 from 22 overs in the first innings, Ahmed bounced back to finish with 5/48 in 14.5 overs in the second dig to help put England in commanding position to win the match.
The leg-spinner took the prized scalp of Pakistan captain Babar Azam, while also dismissing four other batsmen on his way to a piece of history.

Ahmed waited 41 overs to be brought on by skipper Ben Stokes, and his dismissal of Azam - who was piling on the runs in a partnership with Saud Shakeel - opened the door for the visitors to take the last seven wickets for just 52 runs.
His performance sees him overtake Pat Cummins as the youngest player to take five-fa on debut, with the Aussie skipper reaching the milestone at 18 years and 193 days against South Africa back in 2011.
To make the moment even more special, Ahmed's father was born in Pakistan and the family have close ties to the country.
There had been plenty of discussion surrounding Ahmed throughout the Test, with many believing he didn't turn the ball enough as a leg-spinner to take consistent wickets at international level.
But former England batsmen Mark Butcher told Sky Sports that he only needs the tiniest bit of movement to trouble the opposition, pointing to the legendary Anil Kumble and his record in the Test arena.
“He [Kumble] took hundreds of Test match wickets without ripping a leg break,” Butcher said.
“You only have to turn it a small amount away from the right-handed batter to make that googly and picking that googly even more important.
“I think he has that ability anyway. It’s just one of those things where we see these people for the first time on the big stage and you go ‘what‘s going to make them the complete package’. For him, the accuracy is going to be the complete package because he has a lot of tools there already.
“If he can get the leg break to turn a bit more, fantastic. If he can‘t, I don’t think it makes a massive amount of difference. He’ll just be a different type of leg spin bowler."
Ahmed's performance earned plenty of praise across the cricket community, with the likes of Michael Vaughan and Isa Guha quick to congratulate him via social media.
Ahmed said post-game that his enormous achievement is yet to fully register - especially the dismissal of the Pakistan captain.
“I don’t think it has sunk in yet, but yes I am very grateful,” he said.
“I bowled better balls and not got wickets, so to get that wicket is nice, especially when it is Babar.”
England need 55 runs to secure victory in the second Test against Pakistan.
