Pakistan’s Ali Usman makes a major impact in England, taking a five-wicket haul on his way to figures of 5/95 from 24 overs. The performance also represents his first five-wicket haul in an England Test innings, ending a long wait for similar success by Pakistan’s visiting left-arm spinners.
Both outlets highlight the broader historical significance. Usman becomes the first visiting left-arm spinner to take five wickets in a Test innings in England since Shakib Al Hasan in 2010. They also note he is the first visiting spinner to claim a five-wicket haul at Leeds since Australia’s Ashley Mallett took 5/114 in 1972. Times of India frames the result as ending a 16-year wait, while Yahoo Sports emphasizes the “first visiting left-arm spinner in 16 years” milestone; both describe the same key match achievements and records.
