Pakistan Tour Of England News

First it was Dominic Sibley who accidentally rubbed the ball with saliva before the umpires had to intervene and sanitize the ball during England’s Test series against West Indies. On a similar line, Mohammad Amir too was caught on camera in Friday’s encounter but hasn’t been warned by ICC yet.

The three Tests between England and Pakistan saw Mohammad Rizwan transform from a ‘good’ keeper to a ‘very good’ keeper and today, the 28-year-old showed signs that he has it in him to become a ‘great’ keeper. Some outrageous, Dhoni’esque glovework from Rizwan crippled England today at Old Trafford.

Pakistan and run-outs are still a better love story than even Titanic, as left-arm pacer Shaheen Afridi found the bizarre of ways to get himself run-out in the ongoing Test against England. The pacer took off instantly without a call from the striker, ending up stranded as Sibley hit the bullseye.

Batting first in overcast conditions, Pakistan were reduced to 6/1 early on before Abid Ali and Azhar Ali rescued them to 78/2. However, post that England captured the day restricting the visitors to 126/5, with Babar Azam strong on 25 before rain ruled out the proceedings at the Rose Bowl.
