London, July 11: Ahead of the first Test against England at Lord's, Pakistan pace spearhead Wahab Riaz on Monday (July 11) backed tainted pacer Mohammed Amir, who is set to return to the scene of his spot-fixing crime on Thursday (July 14).

Wahab feels that apart from skipper and opening batsman Alastair Cook and No.3 Joe Root, the rest of the batting comprising youngsters Gary Ballance, James Vince will find it difficult to handle Pakistan's fiery bowling.
"We know that England is struggling with their middle order. Joe Root is one of their best players and he has to take the responsibility, so that's why he is at No.3," he said.
"But I think the other batting is fragile. If you get Cook and Root quickly, you can really put pressure on them, but you can't take things easy against them," he added.
Throwing his weight behind the young bowlers, the 31-year-old said despite lack of experience they have the pedigree to win a Test.
"I love to take responsibility. We're not a very experienced attack, but we all have the ability to win a Test match. "Mohammad Amir, Rahat Ali, Sohail Khan, Yasir Shah - they can all win you a game," he said.
