PAK vs AUS: Mohammad Rizwan hilariously asks Steve Smith for assistance over DRS call

Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan and Australian senior batter Steven Smith shared a light moment in the ongoing second Test match between the home-side and the visitors, which is being played at the National Stadium in Karachi on March 12 (Saturday).

The incident took place during the 71st over of Australian first innings. The home-side got into a tangle on whether to use the review system against Smith who was batting on a personal score of 54 runs at that point of time. With the 15 seconds running out, wicketkeeper Rizwan casually put his arm around the batter’s shoulders and asked him if they should go for the DRS or not.

Pakistan finally decided to not take the review and Smith eventually perished after playing a good knock of 72 runs in 214 balls in the 86th over. Meanwhile, the video of the hilarious incident is being widely shared on social media platforms, with many fans appreciating Rizwan’s sense humour

Coming back to match, Australia after winning the toss opted to bat first and managed to score 251/3 at the end of Day 1. Openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner provided a good start for the visitors, stitching a partnership of 82 runs before the latter got out on a score of 36 runs. Australia suffered another blow in form of Marnus Labuschagne as the batter was caught short of his crease by a rocket throw from Sajid Khan.

However, Khawaja and Smith combined to help Australia recover and regain control of the match. After Smith got out, the visitors sent Nathan Lyon in the form of a nightwatchman. The visitors have had a solid start on Day 2 with Khawaja playing at a score of 141 runs and Lyon batting on 37.

Australia are currently 304/3 in 104.5 and will now look to score quick runs to post a hefty first-innings score. Meanwhile, Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf took a wicket each for Pakistan. Both sides will be aiming to win this Test after the first game ended in a draw.
