LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — Yasir Shah marked his first Test outside of Asia and the United Arab Emirates by taking 10 wickets in the match as Pakistan beat England by 75 runs in their series opener at Lord’s yesterday.

Leg-spinner Shah took 10 for 141, including a second-innings haul of four for 69 on yesterday’s fourth day.

His return, which surpassed Waqar Younis’s previous Test-match best for Pakistan at Lord’s of eight for 154, was central to the tourists going 1-0 up in this four-match series.

Mohammad Amir, in his first Test appearance since he was given a five-year ban for his part in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal at Lord’s — Pakistan’s previous Test at ‘the home of cricket’ — ended the match when he bowled number 11 Jake Ball.

Victory prompted the Pakistan team to perform several press-ups in front of the Lord’s Pavilion — a reference to their pre-tour military boot camp.

England, set 283 for victory, were all out for 207.

Delighted Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq, whose first-innings 114 in his maiden Lord’s Test saw him become Test cricket’s oldest century-maker for 82 years, said: “It is one of the top wins as captain and for Pakistan as a team.

“Everyone bowled well, especially Yasir Shah. We always believe if we cross 300 runs (Pakistan made 339 in their first innings), we are very much in the game,” 42-year-old Misbah said.

“We have a top spinner and the bowlers can really put pressure on the opposition.”

England paid dearly for some poor top-order batting in both innings and skipper Alastair Cook said: “There was a bit of naive batting, kind of basic errors.

“It is a tough pill to take, losing at home, but there are three games to go.”

England were holding firm at 195 for six, thanks to a determined stand of 56 between Jonny Bairstow (48) and Chris Woakes (23).

But Bairstow’s three-and-a-half hour innings ended when he was bowled trying to whip a Shah leg-break.

That was the cue for a collapse that saw England lose their last four wickets for 12 runs in 31 balls.

England’s defeat was tough on Woakes who, in the absence of the injured James Anderson and Ben Stokes, took 11 for 102 in the match.
