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 Yasir took 10 for 141, including a second-innings haul of four for 69 on Sunday’s fourth day.
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 ended the match when he bowled last man Jake Ball.
Victory prompted the whole 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, was all out for 207. It was 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 Yasir leg-break.
England was soon 196 for eight when left-arm quick Amir bowled Stuart Broad.
Yasir then had Woakes, who took 11 wickets in the match, caught at slip before Amir ended the contest.
