Ollie Robinson Matches Kapil Dev's Rare Wicket-Taking Feat in England-Pakistan Test
England bowler Ollie Robinson made cricket history during the first Test against Pakistan at Headingley by taking a wicket with the first ball of the match, a feat last achieved by Kapil Dev in 1983. Robinson dismissed Azan Awais via LBW confirmed by DRS and later removed Shan Masood, reducing Pakistan to 19-2 before rain halted play. This marked a strong start for England under reappointed captain Joe Root in the opening session.
