England charged up by their new ball pair of James Anderson and Stuart Broad made a stunning comeback in the three-match series. Pakistan won the toss, and on batting first, were rolled out for a paltry 234, thanks to some disciplined bowling from the English seamers. Stuart Broad was just sensational, as his 13 overs just conceded 13 runs, and he took 2 wickets. Anderson though was the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets. This was the ideal start which England needed after being 0-1 down in the three-match series. Twitter reacted to England’s brilliant bowling performance and below are some tweets.
Most Test wicket (pace-bowler): 563 G McGrath , 519 C Walsh, 434 Kapil Dev, 431 Richard Hadlee, 422* J Anderson, 421 S Pollock. #PAKvENG

It’s England day, but got to think Misbah and Pakistan will be pleased they won’t be batting last on this wicket #PAKvENG

Eng have done the first bit brilliantly. Pak all out for 234 which is below par. If Eng get a decent lead the pressure will be on. #PakvEng

Well played England. 234 all out and 4-0 after losing the toss in the opening day is a good return #PakvEng
