Best bowling figures in England vs Pakistan Tests

It’s been only 4th day in Pakistan vs England first test match and we have witnessed enough drama. Although it was predicted before the game that England would not go for a bowling pitch considering the pace attack Pakistan possesses. However as of this moment, bowlers are looking clearly dominant in the game. Actually that does not mean that this is purely a bowling pitch. Already we have witnessed some brilliant batting knocks from both Pakistani and English batsmen. These innings include a debut ton from Misbah Ul Haq supported by some heroics from Asad Shafique and an in control over 80 runs innings from the English skipper Alastair Cook. This was Misbah Ul Haq’s first test game in England and he responded brilliantly. Though in second inning he got out for a duck.
