There have been some special performances from the Pakistan bowlers throughout the first Test against England at Lord’s. While Mohammad Amir has not picked the most wickets, he certainly produced the best deliveries in the game. Alastiar Cook received a stunning delivery in the first innings to take his off stump. Jonny Bairstow suffered a similar fate in the second innings, with the ball moving away in the air but seaming off the wicket crashing on to the off stump!
Here’s that wicket!
David Gower "that delivery from Mohammad Amir to Jonny Bairstow was 10/10" #ENGvPAK #Cricket

Sublime from Mohammad Amir. The ball to dismiss Bairstow swung away 0.8°, then seamed back in 1.8°. Targeting the top of off-stump, only two balls into the batsman's innings, that was fast bowling of the highest class. #ENGvPAK pic.twitter.com/L0ZBF3z9hr

Never want to fanboy in a press box, but comfortably the best thing over the last few days has been seeing/hearing Wasim Akram lose his shit for Mo Amir's dismissals of Cook (1st inns) and Bairstow (2nd). #EngvPak
