PACEMAN Mohammad Asif rocked Australia as Pakistan took the honours on the first day of the first Test at Lord's today.
And Pakistan's other young quick, teenager Mohammad Aamer, was involved in a physical clash with Australian captain Ricky Ponting after dismissing him.
Australia struggled to 9-229 on a tense first day, with Mike Hussey unbeaten on 39 when bad light stopped play early.
Asif took 3-0 in seven balls with a triple strike that removed Simon Katich (80), Michael Clarke (47) and Marcus North (0).
Danish Kaneria (2-48) knocked over the lower-order, including bowling Mitchell Johnson with a big-turning legbreak that Shane Warne would have been proud of.
North's third-ball duck, bowled through a gaping hole between bat and pad, continued the pressure on the left-hander in the lead-up to next summer's Ashes series
