ENG vs PAK, 4th T20I: Mark Wood Delivers a Fiery Bumper Which Leaves Azam Khan Befuddled - WATCH

Pakistan batter, Azam Khan continued his torrid run of form with the bat in the fourth and final T20I game against England yesterday at the Kennington Oval in London. The batter was dismissed thanks to a fiery bumper by Mark Wood which got an edge that carried to the keeper.

Having batted for just four deliveries, Azam found himself struggling to get off the mark. This was further highlighted by the manner of his dismissal where he managed to get the edge off the glove which then went on to the keeper as the batter was dismissed a duck.

Pakistan’s struggle to find some decent middle-order batters continues with the brunt of the responsibility falling on the senior duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.

In yesterday’s game, the pair managed to give the side a decent start in the powerplay but in the final delivery of the sixth over, Jofra Archer got the wicket of the Pakistan skipper and Adil Rashid later got the wicket of the keeper-batter.

While Usman Khan managed to carry things forward, he was not able to find any support with Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan and Azam all being dismissed for single-digit scores.
