Elvis Andrus Jersey . With two wins and two
draws in their opening four games, Real sit second in Group F, two points behind
Borussia Dortmund, who have already qualified.However, boss Zinedine Zidane will
not be focusing on the points tally and their final position in the group, but

. -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision
whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego
Chargers. Amidst the wild, joyous celebrations at Lords this evening, there was
no sign of Imran Khan in the stands. A shame, indeed, for he was amongst the
glitterati during the first three days, doubtless holding court. He watches
cricket in a detached manner, always amused by what he sees as the pedestrian
default positions of English cricket. He is certain that the cricketers of his
own land have the edge, on the proviso that they embrace the discipline required
to last the distance.Under Imran, Pakistan achieved wonderful things. To this
day, Wasim Akram and company defer to his counsel. This is not to say they take
him too seriously, for serious he can be, but that they respect authority and
the stability it brings.Imran must look upon Misbah-ul-Haq with admiration.
Misbah has fused the talents of the players we watched at Lords these past four
days and given them a sense of freedom. For Misbah, read authority, stability
and a licence to express their rare gifts.Each morning as they warmed up, the
Pakistanis loosened their bodies and minds with laughter. Yesterday, at
practice, they caught so badly it could be not funny but they didnt dwell, they
moved on. This morning they held on to everything that came their way - both in
the slip and gully region and in the deep. Overnight they had been transformed
and there was no explaining it. On the field too, the fielding was transformed.
Often with Pakistan, there is no explaining.Imran might wonder about the vast
array of coaches and confidantes that lined up for the team photograph at 10.45
on Saturday morning - nine of them in green track suits forming the middle line
of the three-tiered image.The four leaders of this group come from very
different places. The head coach, Mickey Arthur, is from South Africa; the
batting coach, Grant Flower, from Zimbabwe; the fellow charged with improving
the fielding is Steve Rixon, an Australian; while the glue, the interpreter and
the mentor for the bowlers is Mushtaq Ahmed.They are an unlikely bunch, thrown
together by the merry-go-round of the modern international game - deemed crucial
one year and surplus the next - but their blend looked good, for each offers a
very different character and perspective to the complex space they occupy. The
sum of the parts, if well conceived, is often greater than the whole.Whatever
their value, such additions are transient. The one constant in Pakistan cricket
is the inherent quality and variety of the bowling. These men rejoice in making
a cricket ball talk. The use of the ball, its leather and its seam, is a
culture, forensically explored and widely envied.The 16-year-old Sachin
Tendulkar played against Imran, Wasim, Waqar Younis and Abdul Qadir in 1989.
Twenty-seven years later, the make-up and effect of the attack is exactly the
same: three bowlers who possess the rare ability to move the ball in the air at
pace and a legspinner who offers no peace.The attack that the teenage Tendulkar
thwarted was amongst the finest to play the game. The one that blew away England
today is fighting for its face in the world, unable to play matches at home,
almost always having to play at an adopted home. This was the first Test match
Pakistan have played outside Asia in three years and, by heaven,, they won it.
Jurickson Profar Rangers Jersey. When Yasir
Shah took his fourth wicket of the innings to make ten for the match, he
sprinted with an almost demented fever before falling to the ground some 50
yards from where he had delivered the ball that Chris Woakes had edged and
Younis Khan caught so well. His team-mates swamped him. It is not just in
features that Yasir resembles Lionel Messi but in celebration too. For a Messi
goal in a Champions League final, read Yasir Shahs tenth wicket of the Lords
Test match. Arguably, in this fourth innings he bowled a little too flat for the
condition of the pitch and spun fewer leg-breaks that expected. But that is to
split hairs. He has the most positive energy, regarding each ball as its own
opportunity and moment of theatre. He bounds to the wicket, explodes at the
crease and follows through in expectation. The googly spins, the slider slides
and the back-spinner confuses.In his time away from the game he might think to
heed the words passed from Bill OReilly to Richie Benaud and from Benaud to
Shane Warne: Learn to bowl six consecutive fiercely spun and perfectly pitched
leg-breaks, itll take you three years.Warne did it in two. Given the remarkable
experiences of Test cricket already under Yasirs belt, he could add such mastery
to his game in no time. Batsmen hate being beaten on the outside edge. Such
defeat defines insecurity. Legspinners must spin if at all possible and when
Yasir does, it creates a panic from which there is little escape. Even as it is,
every cricketer that comes to Lords will look up at the honours board in the
away dressing room and see the name Yasir Shah added to a glorious list of a
gifted few to have taken ten on the hallowed ground. It is a sobering thought
that such an irresistible talent is only to become better.Yasirs double act with
Wahab Riaz through the middle of the afternoon was something to behold. Wahab
bowled very fast and, from mainly around the wicket, reversed the ball with
breathtaking accuracy. It was a spell that brought his team nothing in terms of
figures but plenty in terms of psychological impact. England will surely worry
from here on in about reverse swing, much as the England of the 1990s did when
confronted by Wasim and Waqar.To their great credit, Jonny Bairstow and Woakes
survived this onslaught for long enough to suggest that the England of 2016
might pull off something memorable but, as Wahab ran out of steam, so Yasir
found another gear and Mohammad Amir returned to hammer nails into English
coffins.Amir had left this ground in disgrace six years ago but now the wheel of
fortune turned dramatically in his favour as zippy, pitched-up deliveries
shattered stumps that simply could not be protected by Stuart Broad and Jake
Ball. These were wickets taken by force of will as much as by craft.From the
blow to his head by Broad in the first innings to the wicket that sealed
Pakistans victory in a wonderful Test match of nip and tuck and many surprises,
Amir proved that the circle of life is both unpredictable and never-ending. Old
Trafford is but five days away. The juices are already running.
