Pakistani players often commit some mistakes on the cricket field, after which they become a target of jokes. A similar thing happened to spinner Sajid Khan who missed an easy chance to run out Jack Crowley against England on Wednesday. Sajid Khan did something that people are trolling him for. In fact, Jack Crowley was easily run out in the 8th over but Sajid Khan left the bell before he caught the ball.
What did Sajid Khan do?
In the 8th over, Ben Duckett played a shot to the backward square area off Sajid. Meanwhile Crowley tried to make a quick run but Duckett denied him. After this the fielder threw a quick throw to the non-strike end. Crowley was away from the crease but Sajid Khan dropped the bell before he caught the ball, resulting in the English batsman being declared not out.
Sajid Khan…absolute clown 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣\Crawley survives…

Crowley couldn’t do more damage
However, it was a relief for Pakistan that Jack Crowley could not hurt them too much. Crowley was caught out by wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan off Nauman Ali in the 13th over. Crowley played an innings of 27 runs. However, the England team had a very fast start against Pakistan. England’s openers added 73 runs in 73 balls. Ben Duckett had scored a half century till the time of writing.
Pakistan restricted to 366
Talking about Pakistan’s innings, it was limited to 366 runs. After Kamran Ghulam’s 118 runs and Sam Ayub’s 77 runs, Mohammad Rizwan was dismissed for 41 runs. Agha Salman played an innings of 31 runs and Aamir Jamal played an innings of 37 runs. Noman Ali also played an innings of 32 runs. Jack Lee took 4 wickets and Braden Kars took 3 wickets from England. Potts got 2 wickets and Basheer got 1 wicket.
