Robinson storms back for England by ripping through Pakistan at Headingley
LEEDS, England (AP) --- Seamer Ollie Robinson made another dramatic return for
England as he hammered the Pakistan top order on the first day of the test
series on Wednesday at Headingley.
Pakistan was collapsing at 150-7 at tea after an extended three-hour session
due to the morning cut short by rain.
Robinson took out four of the top five batters --- all bowled or unassisted ---
including a wicket with the first ball of the three-match series, a first in
England, which has been hosting tests since 1880.
He had 4-39 from 16 overs in his first test since June at Lord's, where he took
a match-winning 7-77 against New Zealand in his first test in two years. A knee
injury and doubts about his fitness prevented his return in that series that
England lost.
The other three wickets were grabbed by Josh Tongue, who broke Pakistan's
biggest partnership then, right on tea, dismissed interim captain Salman Agha
and Ali Usman in consecutive deliveries. Tea was immediately called, delaying
Tongue's hat trick ball.
