Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafiq and Mohammed Rizwan were all dismissed for ducks. Rizwan was bowled by Seals with a delivery that came in sharply after pitching. The Pakistan skipper decided to leave the ball on length. As it turned out, it was an error of judgment as the ball clipped the off-stump bail and the Pakistan skipper stood still in disbelief. The incident happened on the fifth ball of the third over, bowled by Jayden Seales. The pacer bowled a good length delivery outside off. The ball hit the deck and nipped back in.
Rizwan was completely taken by surprise by how much the ball moved and came back in after pitching. He stood there in disbelief for at least 5-10 seconds with a look of complete disbelief on his face.
“What an amazing delivery. And the bowling coach is very pleased with this result. Almost to say, ‘How dare you, Rizwan? How dare you leave that delivery? Pitching and swinging in, just clipping the off-stump bail. A bowling plan is coming to perfection for this youngster,” the commentator said.
