LONDON: Pakistan quick Mohammad Aamer carried on from where he left off against Australia by removing both England openers on the first morning of the first Test at Trent Bridge here Thursday. England, at lunch, were 103 for two after teenage left-arm paceman Aamer had taken two wickets for 19 runs in eight overs. Aamer, who took seven wickets in Pakistan's dramatic three-wicket second Test win over Australia at Headingley last week, had Alastair Cook caught at first slip and eventually had England captain Andrew Strauss, who won the toss, caught behind for 45. South Africa born batsmen Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen were 35 and one not out respectively in the first of this four-Test series. Strauss had a huge reprieve when, on 15, he edged an outswinger from the 18-year-old Aamer only for wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal to drop the routine chance despite getting both hands to the ball. England were then 22 without loss in the fifth over.
