Mohammad Amir bagged his first Test wicket in six years but Yasir Shahs 5-64 stole the show as England were pegged back to 253-7 on day two of the opening Test. Amir bowled Alastair Cook (81) off an inside edge after Englands captain was twice dropped off his bowling, on 22 and 55, on the seamers return to Lords - the scene of his 2010 spot-fixing crime. Mohammad Amir claims his first wicket on his return to Test cricket It was Yasir, though, who put the skids under the home side as he demonstrated expert control to become the first leg-spinner to claim five wickets at the Home of Cricket since Mushtaq Ahmeds 5-57 in 1996.At stumps England were still 86 runs behind Pakistans first innings of 339, which featured Misbah-ul-Haqs 114 and Test-best figures of 6-70 for Chris Woakes, who finished the day with a valuable, unbeaten 31.The tourists added only 57 runs to their overnight 282-6 despite a sparky Sarfraz Ahmed knock of 25 - the innings collapsing as three wickets fell for six runs in eight balls.Sarfrazs soft dismissal - cutting a rare loose Woakes delivery to point - started the slump, Wahab Riaz following two balls later for a duck, bowled by a full in-swinger. Woakes final figures were the best for England versus Pakistan at Lords since Ian Bothams 8-34 in 1978. Watch Chris Woakes take his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket Misbahs 199-ball innings ended when he was bowled by Stuart Broad in the next over, the skipper trapped on the crease and cleaned out by one that came down the slope. Amir played his part in a spirited last-wicket stand of 23 with Yasir but 350 remained well out of Pakistans reach.Englands reply initially rattled along despite the early loss of Alex Hales (six), who was caught at third slip off a Rahat Ali delivery that held its line up the slope.Amir - largely received politely by the crowd - should have added the wicket of Cook when the skipper had 22 but Mohammad Hafeez made a hash of a straightforward chance at first slip.But he was powerless to prevent Cook and Root powering on after posting a 50-run stand in 45 balls, during which the captain overtook David Gowers tally of 1,185 for the most runs scored against Pakistan in Tests. Watch a pick of the action from the second day of the first Test Cook completed his second quickest fifty in Test cricket off 60 balls when he collected his 10th four courtesy of an authoritative cut off Rahat and could barely believe his luck when Sarfraz shelled a simple edge behind on 55.In a summer of records for Englands captain, Cook surpassed Sunil Gavaskars tally of 9,607 for the most runs as a Test opener during his innings.England were cruising until Root risked a slog-sweep off a full Yasir delivery and top-edged to mid-wicket where this time Hafeez made no mistake. There began Englands troubles.James Vince (16) played back to a Yasir delivery that didnt turn and was trapped in front of leg stump before Gary Ballance, batting at five on his return to the side, fell lbw to one that would have hit middle but for his front pad. When Cook ran out of chances, England were tottering at 173-5 and the loss of Jonny Bairstow, bowled by Yasirs quicker ball while attempting to cut, turned up the heat.The leggie bagged his fifth victim when Moeen was given out lbw on the sweep - his review failing as DRS showed it was Umpires Call on impact and wickets.Watch highlights of day two live on Sky Sports 2 from 8pm, then stay tuned for The Verdict at 9pm on the same channel.

Moores lawyer, Tim Danson, asked the court to compel McCaw - who is based in Seattle - to testify in the case back on February 27.PHOENIX -- Josh Collmenter was locked in, throwing strikes, watching his teammates make spectacular plays and turn double plays. As the game wore on, he started to notice that the same hitters kept coming up every three innings. Not quite perfect, but not that far off. Turning in the most dominant start of his career, Collmenter joined Randy Johnson as the only Arizona pitchers to face the minimum in a nine-inning game, tossing a three-hitter in the Diamondbacks 4-0 win over the light-hitting Cincinnati Reds Thursday night. "In the eighth I looked up just to see and at that point youre kind of cognizant of what you have to do," Collmenter said. "You get those guys, then you set yourself up for seven, eight and the pinch hitter." Collmenter got those final three hitters and plenty of help from his teammates. Aaron Hill, who went 1 for 10 in a three-game series against San Diego, had three hits, including a solo homer in the sixth inning off Tony Cingrani (2-5). A.J. Pollock had a double, a triple and scored two runs from the leadoff spot, and Martin Prado added a late run-scoring single. The defence was stellar, making a handful of spectacular players and erasing the runners who did reach base. Collmenter (4-2) was sharp from the first pitch, breezing through his first career complete game by mixing speeds and hitting both sides of the plate. He didnt quite match Johnson, who had a perfect game in 2004 against Atlanta, but faced the same number of hitters. Collmenter also becomes the 13th player since 1914 to allow three or more hits and face the minimum 27 batters in a nine-inning game. "He was just kind of in the zone, throwing his pitches right where he wanted them," said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson, whose team has won five of seven. The Reds have had trouble converting with runners in scoring position this season. They had one against the Diamondbacks, Brayan Pena in the third inning, and he was thrown out at third after tagging up on a flyball to centre. Cincinnati has lost five of six after being shut out for the sixth time this season. "We didnt barrel many balls," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "In part credit to him and in part a testament to the fact that we havent been swinging the bats very well.dddddddddddd" Collmenter has been on a roll over the past month, going 3-0 with a 3.60 ERA in six starts. The over-the-top-throwing right-hander kept it going against the Reds, with help from his defence. The Diamondbacks turned three double plays behind him, including a catch-and-throw by Pollock in centre to get Pena at third in the second inning. Hill also had a diving stop up the middle to rob Todd Frazier of a hit in the seventh inning and made a tough stop on a grounder by Pena in the ninth. Collmenter struck out five and walked none to win his third straight start and fourth straight decision. "He made quality strikes and got bad contact," Diamondbacks catcher Tuffy Gosewisch said. "They hit a few balls hard and we played great defence and turned a double play here and there." The Reds ended a four-game losing streak on Wednesday, when Homer Bailey outpitched two-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw in a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Cingrani wasnt quite as good, though managed to limit the damage. The left-hander had struggled a bit since coming off the disabled list (shoulder), allowing four runs in each of his past two starts. Arizona scored a run off Cingrani in the first inning, when Pollock led off with a double, stole third and scored when catcher Devin Mesoracos throw bounced into left field for an error. Hill hit a solo homer to left in the fourth inning, his fifth of the season, and chased Cingrani with a run-scoring single up the middle in the sixth. Cingrani allowed three runs on seven hits in five innings. "I was just trying to get my rhythm going and build off each outing and try to find my groove," Cingrani said. "I will hit it sooner or later." Collmenter certainly has. NOTES: Diamondbacks C Miguel Montero, who leads the majors with 48 games caught, was given the night off. ... The error by Mesoraco in the first inning was the 24th by the Reds, still fewest in the majors. ... Arizona RHP Bronson Arroyo, Fridays starter against the Reds, played the previous eight seasons in Cincinnati. He is 3-1 with a 1.90 ERA his last six starts. RHP Mike Leake will start for Cincinnati after allowing two runs in six innings of a 2-0 loss to St. Louis his last start.
