Arjun Tendulkar, son of Sachin Tendulkar, one of the surprise visitors at the Lord’s. He was spotted in the crowd alongside Pakistan legend Imran Khan during Day Two of the 1st Test, between England and Pakistan.

Reportedly, Arjun also bowled at the England batsman in the nets morning before the start of the play. The all-rounder, who is a left-handed fast bowler and a middle order batsman was recently picked in West Zone Under-16 side.

In another snap, Tendulkar was seen practicing his grip action. It seemed that Imran must have shared a tip or two about fast bowling with the young man. The Pakistani legend is now a prominent politician, is now the chairman of a political party Pakistan Tareek-e-Insaaf, which he formed in the year 1996.

Pakistan on Day Two were dismissed for 339, after starting the day on 282 for 6. Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq, who was unbeaten on 110, added just four more runs to his overnight score. He became the oldest captain in Test history to score a ton, which also happened to be his first on English soil.

Chris Woakes was the start of the show, finishing with career-best figures of 6 for 70. England in the first session had lost the wicket of Alex Hales early, but the Alastair Cook and Joe Root ensured that they did not lose any further wickets. However, leg-spinner Yasir Shah then made inroads into the batting order taking the wicket so of Joe Root, James Vince, Gary Balance and Jonny Bairstow. Mohammad Amir also picked his first test wicket since his Test comeback in the form of Alastair Cook.
