Highest Test wicket takers in a Pakistan vs England series

As expected England vs Pakistan 2016 test series has begun to show its true colors. English soils are always considered to be helping out the seamers. The bouncy grass pitches with some lush green outfield are the specialty of England cricket grounds. No doubt often these pitches provide enough support to the batsmen to have a compete-able game in the end. The conditions in England majorly support fast bowlers. However it was Pakistan leg spinner Yasir Shah who took the English batsmen by surprise. Yasir Shah took 10 wickets at the Lord’s becoming the first ever leggie to have done so. The whole world was full of praise for the unexpected performance by the spinner.

However the dominance created by Pakistan through their leg spinner did not last long. The side who had won the first match with some remarkable honor, lost the second game miserably. Interestingly the highest test wicket takers in both of the games were fast bowlers however a leg spinner for his unusual performance got all the praise in the first match. The next game between the two sides is scheduled to be played from August 3rd. While England cricket team will be enjoying a comparatively large break in between the second and third match, Pakistan have to play a tour match against Worcestershire. Seems good as Pakistan team would hopefully get benefit from playing without any pressure. Pakistan have already played two tour matches against County sides but after winning the first game they appeared to have failed in every department.
