However, the Pakistan team depended on the pair, especially the captain Babar Azam as well. While the game was somewhat intense, the third umpire mistakenly added some fun elements to it.

The incident took place in the runout review of West Indies’ Kraigg Brathwaite. The call was referred to him by the onfield umpire. While the screen was showing ‘Decision Pending’ for some time, a fun thing was seen on the screen as the screen was not showing the decision despite the umpire called it ‘out’ from mike and instead of the decision he opened the windows media player and play out the video as well.

Here is the video:

However, Kemar Roach had opened up about the pitch earlier. He said: “On a pitch that’s pretty tough I think we are in a good position, five wickets away from bowling them out and tomorrow first hour will be very crucial to restrict them around 170-200 maybe. I knew I needed to bowl a bit straighter and using the crease and it worked well. Felt good today (with the ball) and I just got the ball to track it in as we all know that he (Azhar Ali) is a lbw candidate, so it really worked.”

He further continued: “He (Jayden Seales) has pace and has the ability to move the ball. He works hard and asks a lot of questions and probably a legend in the making. He listens well and is learning everyday, and I think we are in for a special treat. On this wicket there is not much movement and the bounce is consistent and we tried to challenge the batsmen on fuller lengths to get some movement and be consistent at that.”
