Pakistan vs England, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Series: England tour of Pakistan, 2022 Venue: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi Date & Time: Dec 01-Dec 05, 10:00 AM LOCAL

Jack Leach 1-56(18.3 ov)

96.3

Jack Leach to Naseem Shah, out Lbw!! Oh that's plumb. Leach has done it for England. But wait, there's more drama. Naseem has reviewed it. Did he get an inside edge? It doesn't look like he did on the front-on replay. What does UltraEdge say? No spike! It's the new ball that does the trick for Leach as it slides on past the edge to hit the pad. Ball-tracking is taking an age to come up. And there's no surprise when it shows the ball crashing into leg stump. England have pulled it off in the fading light in Rawalpindi, as Naseem looks distraught as he stares blankly into the big screen. Naseem Shah lbw b Jack Leach 6(46) [4s-1]
