England v Pakistan, 1st Test, Lord's, day 4

Yasir Shah Perfect Ten Secure Pakistan 75-run win

London: England were denied a record Lord's victory by Pakistan as the tourists completed a 75-run victory in a thrilling first Test.

Chasing 283 to win on the fourth day, Alastair Cook's side were undone by some inspired bowling once more.

Jonny Bairstow (48), Gary Ballance (43) and James Vince (42) had given the hosts faint hope.

However, spinner Yasir Shah again ripped through England's line-up to finish with 10 wickets in the match.

Victory was sealed by Mohammad Amir, who was returning to Test cricket after serving a ban for spot-fixing during Pakistan's tour of England in 2010.

He shattered debutant Jake Ball's stumps and embarked on a joyous celebration which culminated in the entire Pakistan team doing military-style press-ups and star jumps.

That followed their 42-year-old skipper Misbah-ul-Haq celebrating his century on the first day with some press-ups of his own.
