It all started with the 12’s ball. Noman saved a fly ball on the outside that turned sharply after the bounce. Justin Greaves has a flying edge between first and second slip as he tries to defend. Babar Azam, at second slip, darted to his left and took a clean catch as the greabes managed just 1 run off 1 ball.
On the next ball, Tevin Imlach was caught in a trap set by the Pakistan Spinner. In fact Tevin Imlach tried to sweep a delivery outside the off stump but missed the ball too much and the 28-year-old was trapped LBW for a duck.

Meanwhile, West Indies’ first innings against Pakistan in Multan, Pakistan’s first innings, was bowled in a helmet in the first slip. In fact, Abrar Ahmed took part in a flight on the sister side and Gudakesh Motie swept it hard, but the ball hit Hurraira’s helmet before rolling behind square on the ball side.
The Pakistan team physio then rushed to the ground to check Mohammad Hurraira, possibly for concussion. Fortunately, Hurraira was a bit dazzled but had to come off the field as a precaution and Kamran Ghulam went through at first slip with a new helmet.
