How can it be that there is no controversy in any match of Pakistan? Something similar was seen in the Multan test. On the second day of the Multan Test, there was a huge uproar after a shot by Salman Aga. Actually, Salman Agha played a shot in the air on the ball of Jack Leach. Woakes took the catch at the long off boundary and started celebrating. But after this, when the third umpire saw the replay, he declared this catch illegal and declared Salman not out and with this Pakistan got 6 runs. The England team appeared very unhappy with this decision of the third umpire.

Ruckus in Multan test

When Pakistan's score was 420 runs, Salman Agha played a big aerial shot on the ball of Jack Leach in the 117th over. The ball was crossing the boundary but Chris Woakes caught it. Before taking this catch, Woakes went outside the boundary and then he tossed the ball and finally he jumped in the air and took the catch. In the replay it seemed that Woakes had taken the catch but third umpire Chris Gaffney had a different thinking. According to him, Woakes' foot was in touch with the boundary while catching the ball and hence he declared Salman Agha not out.

Pakistan crosses 500
