PAK vs ENG 3rd Test: In the Rawalpindi Test, England were all out for just 112 runs in the second innings. Pakistan has got a target of 36 runs to win. Spinner Noman Ali took 6 wickets for Pakistan. At the same time, Sajid Khan dismissed 4 English batsmen. In this way, all the 10 batsmen of England were dismissed by the spinners of Pakistan, but do you know that for the first time in Test cricket, this happened when Pakistan’s fast bowlers did not bowl a single over. Pakistan played its first Test in 1952, but this had never happened till date.
Noman Ali, Sajid Khan, Zahid Mahmood and Agha Salman bowled for Pakistan in the Rawalpindi Test, but no fast bowler bowled the over. Also, this happened for the fourth time in Test history when Pakistan’s spinners had taken all 20 wickets of the opposition team. At the same time, this has happened for the second consecutive time in this series. Earlier in the Multan Test, Pakistan’s spinners had taken all 20 wickets of the English team. Pakistan’s spinners had first achieved this feat in 1980.
Pakistan’s spinners had dismissed all 20 batsmen of the opposition team against West Indies in Faisalabad. After this, Pakistan’s spinners repeated this feat against England in 1987. Then Pakistan’s spinners had dismissed all the 20 English batsmen in Lahore. At the same time, this has happened twice in this series. In the Multan Test, Pakistan’s spinners bowled out all 20 batsmen of the English team. Now once again in the Rawalpindi Test, Pakistan’s spinners took all 20 wickets without the help of fast bowlers.
