Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, went to the nets on the eve of the third Test against England in Karachi. Azam had mixed results in the first two Tests. Saqlain Mushtaq, the head coach, made the decision to roll his arms and hit Babar with a peach of a delivery.

Babar attempted to play a reverse lap shot as the 45-year-old angled the delivery towards the off-stump line, but the ball swiftly twisted in and went underneath the swinging bat to rattle the stumps. Babar looked back at Saqlain in shock at how it all turned out before picking up his practice once more.
