Pakistan's mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed creates history by taking a five-wicket haul in the debut opening session against England in Multan.

Led by Ben Stokes, England won the toss and chose to bat first. The three lions started aggressively as Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope only dealt with boundaries.

The 24-year-old surprised the visitors as he got rid of England's four centurion batters, including captain Ben Stokes.

Abrar Ahmed is now only the 3rd Pakistani bowler to take seven wickets in an innings on his Test debut. The other 2 were Mohammad Zahid v New Zealand in 1996 and Mohammad Nazir v New Zealand in 1969.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan is in awe after seeing the mystery spinner turning out to be dangerous for the England batting lineup.
