Anderson leaves Rizwan in whole incredulity
Anderson leaves Rizwan in whole incredulity : Rizwan has had a difficult task after asking him to open in place of injured Imam-ul-Haq, after making 38 deliveries and scoring 28 balls by lunchtime. Completely unbelievable for the genius James Anderson.
Pakistan got off to a great start, falling below 300 before lunch and two openers – Abdullah Shafique and Muhammad Rizwan – nullified the England threat. Rizwan had a daunting task after asking the injured Imam Ul-Haq to open, but he made his 38 deliveries and hit 28 balls by lunchtime.
Later, the genius James Anderson completely disbelieved. And the performance was so great that even the commentators were in absolute awe of the veteran bowler.
After lunch, 4 deliveries occurred. Anderson resumed proceedings for England with Rizwan on strike. On the fifth pitch, Anderson dished a seamless delivery and fished to the batter, with Rizwan clear of the offside line and ready to defend the ball, but teeing past the end of his stick and teeing him off. It only stretched slightly until it hit the top of the box.
Rizwan was shocked. He remained in place for several seconds before looking at Anderson. It was absolute jaffa from England. Rizwan then approached Shafiq, spoke a few words, scored 43 to 30 balls, and then walked away with a lopsided smile.
