Watch – Controversial DRS decision left English players in awe
England players and fans were stunned after witnessing an erroneous decision given by DRS.
On an adrenaline rush last session of Day 5, Jake Leach dismissed Pakistan’s last batter Naseem Shah and clinched victory in the first test by 74 runs. Ben Stokes’s masterclass and aggressive captaincy helped England beat Pakistan in Pakistan for the first time in last 17 years.
On the last ball of 76th over, Agha Salman got lbw on Jake Leach’s delivery and Umpire raised his finger but the batter went for a review. In the DRS review, Hawk-eye showed that the ball went over the top of the stumps by a distance which left England players in awe.
This is England’s 7th win in last 8 games under McCullum-Stokes duo. Pakistan needed 343 runs to win, on the last day they fought well but couldn’t reach at their goal owing to James Anderson’s brilliant spell of 24-12-36-4. Ollie Robinson was adjudged player of the match for picking 8 wickets in the game.
