abstract:Seam bowling is a phrase used for a bowling technique in cricket whereby the ball is deliberately bowled on to its seam, to cause a random deviation. Practitioners are known as seam bowlers or seamers.
England's seambowling options for Lord's are already limited because of injuries to Andrew Flintoff (ankle), Simon Jones (knee) and James Anderson (back).
Mohammad Aamer also took three wickets in conditions ideally suited to seambowling, with Mike Hussey 39 not out when bad light brought an early finish.
