Pakistan National Cricket Team wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan has kept things light in the ongoing third Test against the England National Cricket Team. The last match of a three-match series between the teams will be held at the Rawalpindi International Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan national cricket team is giving a tough time to England national cricket team batsmen in the last game of the series. The visitors opted to bat first and got off to a decent start as Ben Duckett (52) and Zak Crawley (29) added 56 runs for the opening stand.
But after that, nothing went right for England as Pakistan spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali troubled the batsmen. They have weaved the net around the opposition and ensured that the visitors find it difficult to get runs from the mid-order players.
As England’s batsmen, particularly Harry Brook, struggled to get going, Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps shamelessly taunted the batsman. He was heard getting into Brook’s ears and saying: “No more Bazball.” The video immediately went viral on the Internet, leaving many divided.

Harry Brook didn’t have a great outing with the bat in the first innings. The right-hander was dismissed by Sajid Khan and managed just 5 runs off 14 balls. Not just him, but Joe Root (5) struggled to get going and was removed by Sajid early in his innings.
Sajid Khan shines with the ball again for Pakistan
Sajid Khan picked four wickets in an instant as he made a mockery of England’s middle order. The spinner also removed Ollie Pope and Ben Stokes and left the visitors reeling at 118/6 in the final series decider between the teams.
Sajid Khan continued his golden form with the ball and picked another fifer. His sensational bowling spell saw the Pakistan National Cricket Team defeat their opponents by 267 runs. This was possible because Jamie Smith, in the end, played a vital innings of 89 runs.
Pakistan did not have a great outing with the bat as they then lost three quick wickets. Both openers Saim Ayub (19) and Abdullah Shafique (14) lost their wickets early. Kamran Ghulam, who struck in the last game, also returned to the cabin for 3 as the hosts ended the day at 73/3. The onus will now fall on captain Shan Masood, along with Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan, to bring the team closer to England’s total.
Mohammad Rizwan in particular will have something to prove. He made mistakes in both innings of the last two games. He would like to make an impact on his team with the bat.
Mohammad Rizwan is also likely to be named captain of the white-ball team. I would expect to submit a statement before the announcement.
I have been playing FC cricket for the last 7-8 years – Sajid Khan
Sajid Khan spoke about his performance with the ball and said that he has been playing FC cricket and knows the nature of the pitch. He said that Joe Root’s wicket was his favorite and while talking about the same, he explained:
“I have been playing FC cricket for the last 7-8 years and have played on all types of surfaces. It is good that the pitch helps the spinners a lot and I have brought all my variations into play.
“If you play regular cricket you will know what to do on the field; I like Root’s wicket; he was a very important wicket for us; he is the best, and we did well according to our plans. Credit to Jamie Smith too very good with the lower order.
