West Indies vs Pakistan 2017: 1st Test - Day 1, 5 Talking Points

#4 Mohammad Amir sizzles with the new ball

Amir steamed in and bowled with pace to take three top order wickets

The world has seen what Mohammad Amir can do with the new ball. He has done it against some of the great Australian batsmen of the past decade like Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden before returning back to the game after his ban.

Even on his return, the left-arm seamer has looked as dangerous as he was in his teens, and at Kingston, he was on fire. Amir set up the debutant, Shimron Hetmyer, with a string of out swinging balls before bringing one back into him to send his stumps crashing.

Shai Hope, undone by Amir's pace and late swing, missed a full and fast ball that cannoned on to his stumps. Amir returned to dismiss the stoic Kieron Powell to darken West Indies' sole hope till that point of time.
