Yasir Shah: Pakistan's Spin Star

Pakistan Cricket writer Shahid Hashmi gives us the low down on Pakistan's new bowling star Yasir Shah, a man who is often compared to one of the world's biggest footballing stars Lionel Messi. He claimed a career best seven wickets for 76 runs as Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the first Test in Galle.

The hosts were skittled out for 206 in their second innings, leaving Pakistan with a victory target of just 90, which they duly knocked off in less than 12 overs to take a one-nil lead in the three-match series.
