Fawad Alam did not get an opportunity to bat in the first match of the ICC World Test Championship series between Pakistan and Australia at Rawalpindi. He fielded for two days in the second Test at Karachi as well and finally received a chance to bat on the third day of the game but failed to score any runs.
A fantastic in-swinging delivery from Mitchell Starc stunned Fawad as he got struck in front of his stumps on the first ball. Alam asked for a review but the on-field umpire’s decision stood.
Mitchell Starc was on fire after the drinks break during the second session of the Karachi Test today. Before dismissing Fawad, he sent last match’s centurion Azhar Ali back to the dressing room for just 14 runs. He edged a quick delivery from Starc straight into the hands of second-slip fielder Cameron Green.

Pakistan were down to 60/4 from 56/2 after Starc’s fiery over. The left-arm pacer was also close to completing a hat-trick. He bowled a beauty to new batter Mohammad Rizwan, who somehow managed to save his wicket.
