Lord’s Test: Day 3: Yasir Shah steals the thunder
Pakistan’s leg-spinner Yasir Shah struck a useful unbeaten 30 after starring with the ball to leave Pakistan well-placed at stumps on the third day of the Test against England at Lord’s on Saturday. Pakistan were 214 for eight in their second innings at the close, a lead of 281 runs, after leg-spinner Shah took six for 72 in England’s first innings of 272. Shah produced the best innings bowling by a visiting spinner against England in a Test at Lord’s since 1912. But at stumps he was shaking hands with Chris Woakes after the Warwickshire all-rounder had taken five for 31. Woakes’s 11-wicket haul was the first time he had grabbed at least 10 in a Test match. Sarfraz Ahmed (45) and Shah, promoted from his first innings position of number 11, frustrated England in a seventh-wicket stand of 40.
