Ben Zobrist Jersey . Yasir Shah took four wickets to finish with match figures of 10-141, while Johnny Bairstow was the pick of the England batsmen, lasting 147 deliveries for his 48 runs, showing the sort of application that was lacking from the England top order.Joe Root (9) and Moeen Ali (2) will have questions to answer in particular for their shot selection; Root top-edging an attempted pull off Rahat Ali (3-47) and Moeen bowled when skipping down the pitch fourth ball to Yasir.Bairstow and Chris Woakes (23 off 108 balls) blunted the attack for 31.4 overs in their 56-run partnership for the seventh wicket, before the former was finally beaten, bowled by Yasir. Jonny Bairstow pulls a ball to the boundary during day four of the first Test Amir (2-39) took two wickets late in the day, including the final one to fall - Jake Ball bowled - to spark unique Pakistani celebrations, with team press-ups on the Lords outfield.The day had started so well for England when using up just 13 deliveries to take the final two Pakistan second innings wickets - Stuart Broad (3-38) dismissing Yasir (30) and Amir (1) with only one run added to the tourists overnight total.The momentum carried into the early overs of Englands chase, 19 runs coming from the first three overs before Rahat picked up the key wicket of Alastair Cook (8) off a thin edge through to Sarfraz Ahmed.Runs continued to come, but as a result Alex Hales (16) rather recklessly launched into a full-blooded cut shot at a wider ball from Rahat, edging it to Mohammad Hafeez at slip. Check out this fans celebration when Pakistans Mohammed Hafeez took a catch in the slips! James Vince (42) beautifully drove his second ball through the covers for four, though the shot would later get him in trouble, including being dropped on nine off Rahat by Younus Khan - the Pakistan veteran failing to cling on when diving low to his right.Rahat eventually grabbed his third wicket though when Root inexplicably pulled a short ball to the fielder at deep square-leg waiting for the shot.Vince and Gary Ballance (43) gave England renewed hope, adding 49 for the third wicket, taking the hosts safely through to lunch without further loss.But Vince fell to the fourth ball after the interval, his favourite cover drive again his downfall, edging Wahab Riaz (1-46) to Younus, who this time held on at the second attempt at second slip.Yorkshire pair, Ballance and Bairstow repelled the Pakistan attack for a further 39 runs before Yasir (4-69) took two wickets in two overs, first bowling Ballance round his legs and then Moeen gifting his wicket away when racing down the track to the leg-spinner and losing his middle stump. Englands Gary Ballance is bowled by Yasir Shah It brought Bairstow and Woakes together at the crease; the pair frustrating Pakistan with multiple edges from both batsmen not carrying to the slips - Wahab and Yasir particularly unfortunate.Woakes was also given out lbw to Yasir, though the decision was overturned with replays showing the hed got an inside edge on the ball. The partnership was finally broken soon after, Bairstow bowled by an innocuous looking short ball from Yasir that went straight on with the arm - the Yorkshireman utterly crestfallen after his long vigil.Broad (1) fell swiftly, bowled by Amir, who then thought he was on a hat-trick when Steve Finn was given out lbw - but again the decision was overturned due to a faint inside edge.Yasir took the next wicket, his 10th in the match, as Woakes edged to slip looking to drive the spinner, and then Amir ended the game by bowling Ball with a yorker.Pakistan take a 1-0 lead into the second Test of the four match series at Old Trafford, live on Sky Sports 2 from 10am on Friday.Watch highlights of todays play and The Verdict on Sky Sports 3 tonight at 8pm and 9pm respectively.
