Wah Shah, Wah!

Highlights
-
Yasir Shah returned with figures of 10 for 141 in the 1st Test vs England
-
Yasir has more wickets after 13 Tests than anyone in the history of game
-
Yasir Shah was declared man-of-the-match in Pakistan's win over England
It took Yasir Shah 12 Test matches before he played a Test outside Asia, and the Pakistani leg-spinner returned with his best bowling figures, shattering the 'spinners aren't effective in England' theory.
Unsurprisingly, he was declared the Man-of-the-Match for his figures of 10-141, in what turned out to be Pakistan's first win at Lord's in 20 years.
Here are a few other landmarks that Yasir achieved at Lord's:
* 10 wickets at Lord's: The most by an Asian bowler at Lord's. Waqar Younis and Kapil Dev held the earlier record with eight wickets apiece.
* 10 wickets in a Test: Only the second leg-spinner in Lord's 132-year history to achieve this feat, after England's Doug Wright in 1947. Overall, the sixth spinner to do this at the 'Home of Cricket'.
* 86 wickets: The most wickets by any bowler in the history of the game after playing 13 Tests. The earlier record was held by Australia's Charlie Turner, who played two centuries ago.
So where does Yasir Shah rank amongst other Pakistani stalwarts?
