While the first Test is being played between India-Bangladesh on the one hand, on the other hand, amazing scenes are coming to the fore in the third Test being played between Pakistan-England. One such scene came to the fore on the first day. England captain Ben Stokes hit such a dangerous throw on the wicket that the stump itself broke. This scene was seen in the 64th over.
Salman Wanted To Runout Agha
Pakistan batsmen Agha Salman and Faheem Ashraf were frozen at the crease. As soon as Leach bowled the fourth ball of the over, Salman, playing on 17, tried to steal a run. When Salman’s shot went towards mid-on, the fielder Ben Stokes standing here, caught the ball and hit the non-striker’s end with such a throw that the middle stump was broken. Stokes’ throw was so dangerous that the stump was uprooted.

Match Stopped For Awhile
After this, the broken stump was removed and replaced with a new stump. Due to this, the match was stopped for a while. However, seeing the throw coming from Stokes, Salman had already reached the crease. In such a situation, he was saved from being run out, but seeing this scene, the same proverb became true: he did not eat anything and broke the glass for twelve annas.
Pakistan Team All Out For 304 In The First Innings
However, Agha Salman was dismissed after scoring 56 runs. Batting first, Pakistan’s team got all out after scoring 304 runs in 79 overs. Captain Babar Azam scored 78 runs, while Azhar Ali contributed 45 runs. Mohammad Rizwan got out after scoring 19 runs.
