PAK vs SL, 1st Test: Saqib Khan registers massive record with sensational seven-wicket haul
Pakistan fast bowler Saqib Khan got off to an unforgettable start to his Test career, registering a seven-wicket haul to swing the momentum in Pakistan’s favour against Sri Lanka on the rain-interrupted fourth day of the ongoing first Test on Thursday in Rawalpindi.
He sent down a stunning spell, finishing with figures of 7-130 as Sri Lanka were folded for 446. Sri Lanka resumed the day at 404/4, and they were in great rhythm; however, Saqib triggered a stunning batting collapse that brought Pakistan back into the game. Surprisingly, Sri Lanka lost their final six wickets for only 42 runs, with Pakistan claiming seven wickets during the first session.
With his incredible spell, Saqib also joined a group of Pakistani bowlers, who have claimed seven wickets in an innings on their Test debut. He became only the fourth player from Pakistan to accomplish the feat, joining the likes of Mohammad Nazir, Mohammad Zahid and Abrar Ahmed. Currently, Pakistan have a 45-run lead after finishing day four with 57/1 in their second innings.
