Shah, in his first Test since serving a three-month drugs ban -- and his first outside of Asia and the United Arab Emirates -- ran through England`s middle-order on the way to five for 64 in 25 overs.


It was the first time any leg-spinner had taken five or more wickets in a Test innings at Lord`s since his compatriot Mushtaq Ahmed`s five for 57 in 1996.
