Pakistan bounced back from their heavy first Test defeat to claim victory in the second match in Multan, setting up a series decider in Rawalpindi next week.
Left with the monumental task of chasing 297 on a dusty pitch re-used from their record-breaking first-Test victory, the tourists were dismissed for 144 before lunch on the fourth day.
Aided by sharp turn and unpredictable bounce, left-arm spinner Noman Ali claimed seven of the eight wickets to fall on Friday for an overall 8/46 and match figures of 11-147.
Noman dovetailed with off-spinner Sajid, two of the four men Pakistan brought into their side for this Test. Sajid ended with nine victims in the match.
It is only the seventh time in Test history and first occasion since 1972 that two bowlers have shared all 20 wickets.
Earlier in the match, Ben Duckett was the standout batter for the tourists in the first innings top-scoring with 114, his fourth Test hundred, while spinner Jack Leach took seven wickets in the match.
Intrigue will now surround the surface for the third and final Test, which begins on Thursday 24 October, with the series level at 1-1.
