Pakistan Fielding Gaffe Overshadows Chaotic Test Day Against England
Pakistan were playing England in a Test match.
During one delivery, England’s Lawrence ran out of his crease.
Pakistan’s captain Salman Ali Agha and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan were both appealing for LBW.
They did not immediately notice that Lawrence could be run out.
When Agha finally tried to hit the stumps, the ball hit Rizwan instead.
The LBW review showed that Lawrence was not out because the ball hit outside the line.
Lawrence then scored a half-century.
England ended the day ahead by 195 runs.
