2016 England Vs Pakistan First Test @ Lord's July 14-17,2016 - Yasir Shah Joins Lord's Spin Greats Sunday July 17,2016

Yasir Shah took 10 wickets in a Test for the first time in his career as the leg-spinner bowled Pakistan to a 75-run win over England at Lord's on Sunday.

England were holding firm at 195/6 thanks to a determined stand of 56 between Jonny Bairstow (48) and Chris Woakes (23).

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



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 on Sunday.

Leg-spinner Shah took 10/141, including a second-innings haul of 4/69 on Sunday's fourth day.

The 30-year-old Shah, who earlier this year served a three-month drugs ban after saying he had taken his wife's blood pressure medication instead of his own, now has a brilliant Test record.

In just 13 matches, he has taken 86 wickets at an average of just 23 apiece.

His second-innings haul of four for 69 gave man-of-the-match Shah an overall return for this Test of 10 for 141.

That made him the first spinner to take 10 wickets in a Lord's Test since England's Derek Underwood in 1974 and just the sixth in all.

Below is the select group Shah has now joined.
