Watch: Salman Agha hits Mohammad Rizwan with his throw as Pakistan's funny fielding continues vs England

Pakistan's fielding struggles continued vs England as a mistimed throw from Salman Agha caught Mohammad Rizwan off guard, adding to a string of mix-ups in the field during the ENG vs PAK 1st Test at Headingley

Pakistan continued their funny fielding even on the second day of the opening Test against England at Leeds in Headingley as Salman Agha, standing at the slip region, threw the ball hard at the stumps but ended up hitting the wicketkeeper, Mohammad Rizwan, and eventually missed the chance to get the wicket. 

Pakistan found themselves under pressure from the very first ball of the game when they lost their opener, Azan Awais, for a golden duck. The second day started after a delay due to the persistent rain in the morning, while the second and third sessions were played mostly in the artificial lights.

Salman Agha's wayward throw catches Rizwan off guard in another fielding mix-up for Pakistan

On the last delivery of the 62nd over of England’s batting, Dan Lawrence used his feet and danced down the track against a full toss. But he missed connecting with the ball, which rolled on to the first slip, where Agha realized it a little late, though, and tried to have a shot at the batter’s end, but the keeper, Rizwan, did not.

The keeper was busy appealing for the leg before wicket. There was a lot of chaos. But the batter survived the review as the impact was outside the line. Once again, they showed poor fielding and failed to seize the moment.

Earlier, Agha dropped the simple catch of Harry Brook at the slip region when he was on one and went on to score 90 more runs in the innings.

The blunder comes as Pakistan toil in the field after being bowled out for 171 at Headingley

Pakistan, in their first innings, were bundled out for 171 runs as Abdullah Shafique smashed a fine knock of 61 runs off 104 balls with the help of eight boundaries. Both Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue shared five-wicket hauls each. 

England finished the second day’s play on 366 runs for the loss of eight wickets and took a lead by 195 runs. Joe Root, Lawrence, and Brook went on to celebrate their respective fifties while Ali Usman returned with figures of 5/92.

The hosts would love to continue batting and perhaps take the lead to over 200 runs to rule out the tourists of the game and take the 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Brief Scores: England 366/8 (Harry Brook 91, Ali Usman 5/92) lead Pakistan 171 (Abdullah Sharfique 61, Josh Tongue 5/46, Ollie Robinson 5/51) by 195 runs.
