Before landing on English soil, he had captured nine wickets in his half a dozen Test appearances.
In his first two innings in England, he has grabbed 11 - five at Trent Bridge and six in the first innings at Lord's.

But what has amazed observers is his batting prowess. Prior to the current series, he looked promising as a batsman without quite delivering.
