Pakistan's Mohammad Amir was 'nervous' against England at Lord's, admits Mushtaq Ahmed

Mohammad Amir felt the pressure after bowling in Test cricket for the first time since his spot-fixing ban, admitted Pakistan bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed.

Amir is playing Test circle for the first time since 2010, when his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal in the Lord's Test against England brought a five-year suspension and a prison sentence.

At the same venue and against the same opponents on Friday, Amir took a single wicket - that of England captain Alastair Cook - on the second day.

Amir was given a polite reception by the Lord's crowd and Mushtaq admitted: "He was nervous today but we can all understand that.

"He has a good temperament and we say thank you to the crowd, who were very good to him.

"It was very nice. They just want to see a good player playing good cricket.

"Mohammad Amir is top class and we hope he can play lots more cricket for Pakistan. In his last spell he was very confident and relaxed."

All eyes were on Amir but Pakistan's hero was leg-spinner Yasir Shah, who took five for 64. England trail by 86 runs with three first-innings wickets remaining.

Chris Woakes claimed six for 70 for England, his first five-wicket haul in Tests.

He said: "We gave Yasir one or two wickets. We need to go back to the drawing board and talk about the best way to play him, not just in this match but in the rest of the series."
