WATCH: Mohammad Amir's magical ball to dismiss Alex Hales

Manchester: Pakistan speedster Mohammad Amir returned to cricket after six years due to his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal that rocked the world in 2010. In an interesting coincidence, Amir’s return to Test cricket happened at the same venue – Lord’s – and in the same country – England – where he committed the crime. And Amir seemed determined to grab it with both hands. Though, despite all the buildup, Amir could not hit the top gear and drowned in the huge wave created by leg-spinner Yasir Shah, he took the last wicket that gave Pakistan a historic win over England. And there were clear signs of Amir retaining his old fire.   Pakistan's Mohammed Amir celebrates taking the wicket of England's Alex Hales during day one of the Second Test match at Old Trafford, Manchester, England.
