Cook's cut four off Amir took him to 61 and beyond Gavaskar's mark of 9,607 runs as a Test opener. It was the first time any leg-spinner had taken five or more wickets in a Test innings at Lord's since his compatriot Mushtaq Ahmed's five for 57 in 1996. Yasir Shah became the first leg-spinner in 20 years to take a five-wicket haul in a Test innings at Lord's to leave Pakistan well-placed at stumps on Friday's second day of their series opener with England. Amir eventually drew Cook wide and got the left-hander to play on to end a 124-ball innings featuring 12 fours. Earlier, England captain Alastair Cook made 81 and in the process surpassed India great Sunil Gavaskar as the highest run-scoring opening batsman in Test history.
