It is important to mention here that Pakistan had got rid of seven England wickets for just 102 runs but Stuart Broad and Jonathan Trott compiled the best ever eighth wicket partnership in the history of Test cricket to get England out of the woods. After scoring 446 runs in their first innings, English bowlers bundled Pakistan out for just 74 runs and had grabbed four Pakistani wickets in the second innings leaving Pakistan on the brink of losing the Lord’s Test by huge huge margin.
Wanted for Match-Fixing Crime
This is the huge disappointment for Pakistani cricket fans as seven of the Pakistan’s Lord’s Test eleven are in danger of getting arrested for committing a crime.

Former test cricket, Sarfaraz Nawaz, who is renowned for his hard stance on match-fixing mafia in the team, told a private television news channel that vibes were clear the way Pakistan played Lord’s Test.
