England v Pakistan, 1st Test, 2016: Stats - Yasir Shah special hands Pakistan first win at Lord's in two decades
Pakistan got their England tour off to a winning start as a superlative performance saw them defeat England by 75 runs in the first Test at Lord's. Pakistan ended their long wait for a Test win at the Lord's after they bowled out the hosts for 207 in what was a thrilling game of Test cricket.
Yasir Shah was the star for the visiting team as he picked up ten wickets in the Test match, thus inching closer to the three-figure mark in terms of Test wickets. Shah took his tally to 86 wickets from only 13 Tests.
Mohammad Amir made a fairly good return to Test cricket after having last played a Test six years ago. Amir picked up three wickets in the match and showed what he was capable as he troubled the batsmen on a regular basis.
