Pakistan, 207 for nine overnight, were bowled out for 216 after facing just 12 balls on the fifth morning of the first Test as India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

The Indians had lost five and drawn 15 of their previous 20 Tests in Pakistan.

Pakistan's Yousuf Youhana struck a fighting 112, his 11th test century, but left-arm paceman Irfan Pathan had him mis-hit a pull shot to Rahul Dravid at mid-wicket to end the match.

Anil Kumble was the best bowler of India's second innings, grabbing six wickets for 72, but Pathan's career-best four for 100 in the first had been instrumental in allowing the tourists to enforce the follow-on.

India had amassed 675 for five when they batted, with Virender Sehwag scoring a record 309 and Sachin Tendulkar 194 not out.

"It's fantastic to lead the side that won our first ever Test in Pakistan," said Dravid, India's stand-in captain.

"Sehwag batted brilliantly, he's done a great job for us, and the bowlers bowled with a lot of heart and character on a wicket that didn't offer them very much."

It was only India's second innings victory over Pakistan. The first was the inaugural Test between the two teams in New Delhi in 1952.

The Test defeat was Pakistan's first at home since March 2002, when they were beaten by Sri Lanka at Lahore in the final of the Asian Test Championship.

"We've got our feet firmly on the ground," Dravid said. The series is not over. Pakistan is a good side and they'll come back hard at us."

India's regular captain Saurav Ganguly missed the Test due to a back injury sustained while fielding in the final one-day international, which India won by 40 runs to clinch the series 3-2.

He is also out of the second Test in Lahore, which starts on April 5.
