Top 5 spells in England by Pakistani bowlers before Yasir Shah's match winning effort

#4 Mudassar Nazar: 6/32 at Lord’s in August 1982

Nazar troubled the hosts with his swing

While Muddassar Nazar was predominantly a top-order batsman, batsmen couldn’t rest when facing his lively medium-paced out swingers. At Lord’s on Pakistan’s 1982 tour, Nazar’s opening partner Mohsin Khan became the first Asian to score a double-hundred at the home of cricket. Faced with a huge first innings score of 428 and troubled by Abdul Qadir in their first essay, England were forced to follow-on.

Muddassar Nazar took charge thereafter. Bowling under significant cloud-cover, Nazar extracted heavy movement to break through the English top order. Accomplished batsmen in David Gower, Mike Gatting and Ian Botham, all fell to Nazar’s right-arm swingers.

The Lahore all-rounder’s 6/32 left Pakistan with just 76 to get and set them firmly on course for a well-earned 10 wicket win.
