LONDON (AP) Mohammad Amir took the winning wicket on his return to Lord's after a spot-fixing scandal as Pakistan beat England by 75 runs on the fourth day of the first cricket test on Sunday.
Leg-spinner Yasir Shah grabbed 4-69 for his maiden test haul of 10 wickets as England was bowled out for 207 after Pakistan set a challenging target of 283 to win.
Jonny Bairstow top scored with 48 and defied Pakistan for over two hours with Chris Woakes (23) in a seventh-wicket stand of 56 but once Shah removed both, Amir wrapped up the innings quickly.
