Ollie Robinson branded 'exceptional' as he and Josh Tongue cut match ball in two after taking five-fers vs Pakistan

Ollie Robinson was branded 'exceptional' by team-mate Josh Tongue after both pace bowlers bagged five-wicket hauls as England bowled Pakistan out for 171 runs on day one of the first Test match at Headingley.

After Tongue snared Mohammad Abbas to wrap up Pakistan's first innings, he and Robinson walked off the field holding hands, discussing who between them would take the match ball home.

Instead, they opted to split the ball in half, employing the help of the grounds staff to cut the ball through its seam.
