Be it Test cricket or any other format, Mitchell Starc is one of the best exponents of bowling yorkers and cleaning up the tail. On Day 5 of the ongoing 1st Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, the Australian pacer, however, got a taste of his own medicine. Starc was on the receiving end of a lethal yorker bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi and had no answers to it. The Pakistan left-arm pacer did to Starc what the Australian has done to numerous others as he went wide of the crease to angle the ball in, getting it to reverse a bit.

It completed a five-wicket haul for the left-arm spinner. However, Pakistan's first home Test against Australia in nearly a quarter of a century looked headed for a draw despite Nauman Ali. When umpires called off play on Day 4 with three overs still to be bowled, Mitchell Starc was on 19 and skipper Pat Cummins four -- with Australia just 27 behind Pakistan's first innings total of 476-4 declared.

It was almost the perfect homecoming for the Pakistan-born Australia batter Usman Khawaja. He played superbly but got out just inches away from a well-deserving hundred. The left-hander was dismissed for 97 in the first innings of the ongoing first Test against Pakistan at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. Khawaja, who born in Islamabad, received a warm welcome from the Pakistan fans after he came out to bat in the first innings. Khawaja, however, had a slight problem with the fans inside the stadium in Rawalpindi. In a video uploaded by the PCB, Khawaja jokingly said that he was not happy with fans who were cheering on his dismissal.
