7 wickets for debutant Abrar
Leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed made his debut for Pakistan today after missing the first Test of the series. He gave success to the team in his very first over. He broke the 38-run opening partnership by bowling Jack Crowley in the 9th over of the innings. He then also took the wickets of Duckett, Pope, Root, Brook, Stokes and Jacques.

He could have made a new record of taking all 10 wickets in the first innings of the debut test itself. He took the first 7 wickets in the innings. But, Zahid Mahmood of his team took the remaining 3 wickets. So far only 3 bowlers have been able to take 10 wickets in an innings in Tests. These include Jim Laker of England, Anil Kumble of India and Ejaz Patel of New Zealand. Patel had done this feat against India only last year.

Most wickets in debut test
Abrar also missed out on taking the most wickets in the first innings of the debut test. He took 7 wickets. India’s Narendra Hirwani holds the record for best bowling in the first innings of a debut test. He took 8 wickets for 61 runs against the West Indies in 1988.

Australia’s Albert Trott holds the record for best bowling in any innings of a debut test. He took 8 wickets for 43 runs in the second innings of the debut test against England in 1895.
