Cricket at its home: Top 5 Test bowling performances at Lord's, London

#3 Derek Underwood (5/20 and 8/51) - 2nd Test, Pakistan's 1974 tour of England: August 8 - 13

Derek Underwood with compatriot Miller

Underwood is one of England's best ever exponents of Test-cricket bowling. Throughout the length of his career, he has delivered several stand-out performances, however, the best of those would arguably the 1974 game against Pakistan at the Lord's when he took the entire opposition hostage with his bowling arm alone.

Pakistan folded to scores of 130 and 226 in their first and second innings, as Derek produced spells of 14 - 8 - 20 - 5 and 35 - 17 - 51 - 8. Now that amounts to 49 - 25 - 71 - 13. Let the enormity of those figures sink in, dear reader.

England was all-out at 270 in the first innings and had a target of 87 to win, but at 27 for 0 in their second chance, time was up and the match had to be drawn. Underwood's best-ever match performance thus failed to produce a definite result, but nevertheless, it was one of the most brilliant performances of the past fifty years of the game.
