Mohammad Rizwan, notorious for his antics from behind the stumps while wicket-keeping, delivered another memorable jibe directed at Harry Brook, and England’s ‘Bazball’ approach, during the third Test match between Pakistan and England.
With the visitors struggling in the first session on a spinning wicket, Rizwan was quick to question where England’s world-famous Bazball approach had gone. Ben Duckett, Zack Crawley and Harry Brook, the embodiments of their fast-paced batting approach, looked cocooned as Sajid Khan and Noman Ali tore through their batting line-up.
The 32-year-old was clearly having fun during his side’s bowling, constantly trying to get into the batter’s head.

Jaime Smith was the only English batter who seemed to hold his own in testing conditions scoring a well-tailored 89 to help rescue his side to 269.
England’s Shoib Bashir had already shed light on Rizwan’s antics behind the stumps and how he uses different cadences to confuse the batters, forcing them to make mistakes.
Pakistan will likely need Rizwan to step up in the batting as well with England more than capable of striking back with the ball. With Ben Stokes as their captain and Brendon McCullum as their coach, the visitors are unlikely to go down without a proper fight.
