Shan Masood responds violently to his dismissal in PAK
His dismissal in the seventh over of the innings upset Masood. He disputed the call with the on-field umpire. Islam bowled a short delivery that sneaked in from outside off. Masood stepped forward to defend, but Litton Das caught the ball through the opening. Bangladesh appealed, but the on-field official sided with the hosts, necessitating a review.
Pakistan lost three wickets in the first 50 deliveries of their inaugural Test against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
First, Hasan Mahmud dismissed starter Abdullah Shafique for two runs off 14 balls, then Shoriful Islam dismissed captain Shan Masood and former captain Babar Azam for ducks in three deliveries.
His dismissal in the seventh over of the innings upset Masood. He disputed the call with the on-field umpire. Islam bowled a short delivery that sneaked in from outside off. Masood stepped forward to defend, but Litton Das caught the ball through the opening. Bangladesh appealed, but the on-field official sided with the hosts, necessitating a review.
UltraEdge spiked as the ball passed the bat and hit the pads. However, third umpire Michael Gough appeared rushed and ruled Masood out, angering the skipper. Masood argued with the on-field umpires before leaving.
He later saw the replay of his ejection in the dressing room and told his teammates where the technology went wrong.
Bangladesh won the toss and bowled first, destroying the hosts’ batting line on a beneficial pitch. Vice-captain Shakeel was undefeated on 57* (92) while wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan made 24* (31).
Today, Shan Masood chose an all-pace assault in the first Test in Rawalpindi with Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shehzad, and Mohammad Ali bowling.
