"It was probably the best day of my life again. To get a five-for on debut is a dream come true," Ahmed told the BBC.
"I have bowled better balls and not got wickets. To get Babar Azam out is a dream come true. He is a very good player.
"I liked the Rizwan wicket because I have been working hard on my leg-spin for the last two months with bowling coach Jeetan Patel. To get one to spin a little bit was great."
Having bowled out Pakistan for 216 in the second innings, England chased down target of 167 with ease.
