Watch: Joe Root Shines Ball Using Jack Leach's Head, Internet In Splits

England batter Joe Root adopted a unique strategy to pick wickets as England were asked to bowl after Pakistan won the toss in the second Test in Multan. After spinner Jack Leach picked up two wickets in the opening session, Pakistan settled into their innings thanks to half-centuries by Saim Ayub and Kamran Ghulam. At this point, Root thought of a rather interesting way to shine the ball, in order to provide some assistance to Leach, Shoaib Bashir and the rest of the English attack.

Babar Azam's removal from Pakistan's Test squad for the second match against England sent shockwaves across the cricketing fraternity.

For Ramiz, Babar's absence from the team makes no sense as he isn't just an important player for the team but also a brand which brings Pakistan cricket money.
