Shane Watson took a superb five wicket haul on a Lord's pitch which seemed especially tailored to his own swing bowling. In doing so, he joined Glenn McGrath on the esteemed Lord's honors board for cricketers who have taken a wickets or more in an innings at the hallowed turf of the home of cricket.
Watson took the wickets of both the Akmal brothers as well as key men Shahid Afridi and Salman Butt, the latter of whom was bowled by a magnificent inswinger. Afridi was also a key wicket as he was a man on a mission having smashed 31 from a mere 15 deliveries.
As brilliant as Watson was, Pakistan fought back to have Australia 4-100 at stumps.
