This marked the test debut of Wahab Riaz who showed quite a bit of promise in his first stint as a test cricketer. He showed his pace and talent early on when he grabbed the wickets of AJ Strauss and Jonathan Trott. He didn't stop there as he also took the wicket of danger man Kevin Pietersen. He finished with five wickets in his first innings and was vital in restricting England to a total of 233.
