{{main|Pakistan cricket spot-fixing scandal}}

On the third day of the 4th Test, British newspaper News of the World published a story with allegations that an agent loosely affiliated with some of the Pakistani players (later identified as Mazhar Majeed) had accepted a £150,000 (US$232,665) bribe from undercover reporters for information that two Pakistani bowlers (Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir) would deliberately deliver no-balls at specific points during the match, information which could be used by gamblers to make wagers with inside information (a process known as spot-fixing, compared with match fixing to predetermine a match result).{{cite news |title=Pakistan embroiled in no-ball betting scandal against England |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2010/aug/29/pakistan-cricket-betting-allegations |work=guardian.co.uk |publisher=Guardian News and Media |date=29 August 2010 |access-date=29 August 2010 | location=London | first=Vic | last=Marks}}

In the video posted by News of the World, Majeed, counting out the bribe money, predicted that Amir would be Pakistan's bowler for the third over, and that the first ball of that over would be a no-ball delivery. Amir did bowl the third over, and on his first delivery from the over, bowled a no-ball delivery. Commentary described the delivery as a "massive overstep", a good half-metre beyond the popping crease following the television replay of the delivery.{{cite news |author=Cricinfo staff |title=Lord's Test at centre of fixing allegations |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/england-v-pakistan-2010/content/current/story/474890.html |work=Cricinfo.com |publisher=ESPN |date=28 August 2010 |access-date=29 August 2010 }} Majeed also predicted that the sixth delivery of the tenth over would be a no-ball, and the ball, delivered by Asif, was also a no-ball delivery.

As a result of the allegations and video posted by News of the World, Scotland Yard announced during the evening that they had arrested Majeed on charges of suspicion of conspiracy to defraud bookmakers.{{cite news |title=Arrest over Pakistan-England Test cricket 'betting scam' |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11122388 |publisher=BBC News |date=29 August 2010 |access-date=29 August 2010 }} Two days later, after the Test match had completed, three more arrests were made (two unidentified men and an unidentified woman) on money laundering charges in connection with the allegations.{{cite web|title=Three more arrests in fixing investigation|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/england-v-pakistan-2010/content/current/story/475263.html|work=Cricinfo.com|access-date=5 September 2010|date=31 August 2010}} Police also seized the cell phones of Asif, Amir, and Salman Butt as part of their investigations.

Yawar Saeed, the Pakistan team manager insisted after the conclusion of the test series that the T20 series and the ODI series will be played. He also refused to say that Butt should resign as Test captain.{{cite news |title=Pakistan manager Saeed expects England tour to continue |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/8953417.stm |publisher=BBC News |date=29 August 2010 |access-date=29 August 2010 }}

On 1 November 2011, Asif, Amir and Butt were found guilty for their part in the spot-fixing{{cite news |title=Pakistan cricketers guilty of betting scam |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15538516 |publisher=BBC News |date=1 November 2011 |access-date=1 November 2011 }} and were given prison sentences, ranging from six months to 30 months.{{cite news |title=Salman Butt and Pakistan bowlers jailed for betting scam |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15573463 |publisher=BBC News |date=3 November 2011 |access-date=3 November 2011 }}

Following the betting allegations, Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and Salman Butt were eventually dropped from the Twenty20 and One day squads at the players' request. They had not been suspended, and three players would be called up to replace them.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/8953417.stm|title=Pakistan trio out of England tour|publisher=BBC Sport|date=1 September 2010|access-date=1 September 2010}} This followed several days where the PCB refused to drop or suspend the players from the rest of the tour, even after England requested that the trio sit out the rest of the tour.{{cite news |title=England 'want Pakistan bet probe players banned' |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/8957755.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=31 August 2010 |access-date=1 September 2010 }}

On 2 September 2010, after the warm-up List A game between Pakistan and Somerset, the International Cricket Council announced that they had suspended Asif, Amir and Butt under the provision of the ICC's Anti-Corruption Code. The statement from the ICC stated that the three players were charged "under various offenses under Article 2 of the ICC Anti-Corruption Code for Players and Player Support Personnel relating to alleged irregular behavior during, and in relation to, the fourth Test between England and Pakistan at Lord's last month".{{cite web|title=ICC suspend trio under anti-corruption code|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/england-v-pakistan-2010/content/current/story/475624.html|work=Cricinfo.com|access-date=5 September 2010|date=2 September 2010}}
