With his 5 wicket haul in the Lords test, Yasir Shah became the first leg spinner in 49 years to get a 5 wicket haul in the first innings at Lords. India’s Bhagwat Chandrasekhar was the last leggie to achieve the feat when he took 5 for 127 in 1967.

Pakistan’s Mushtaq Ahmed had been the last leg spinner to get a 5 wicket haul in any innings at Lords.
