Pakistan's young mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed bags five wickets in his debut Test against England in Multan.

England started aggressively in their innings as they were dealing with boundaries and scored 100 runs inside 20 overs.

The 24-year-old, with his mystery spin, took five main wickets of top-batters including four centurions who created history in the first Test at Rawalpindi.

With this, Abrar Ahmed becomes the 13th Pakistan bowler to take a five-wicket haul on Test debut.

Abrar Ahmed is the first bowler in Pakistan's Test history to take five wickets in the first session on his Test debut. The only other Pakistan bowler to take five wickets on his first day in Test cricket is Wahab Riaz, also against England, at The Oval in 2010.
