The ongoing Test series between England and Pakistan has witnessed many glorious and mind-boggling moments. It is certainly one of the most memorable series in the history of England-Pakistan cricket. Each day is packed with action. It started at Lord’s and now the third Test is in progress at Edgbaston and Day 4 saw a terrific catch being pulled off by Yasir Shah at point.
Winning the toss, Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq opted to bowl first and bundled out England for 297. In return, Pakistan responded with fire and gained a lead of 103 runs. Azhar Ali top scored the board with 139 runs. The second innings turned out to be a tough one for the Pakistani bowlers as they weren’t able to pick a single wicket on day three. English openers Alastair Cook and Alex Hales added 120 runs on the board and gave no room for error.

On Day 4, it was clear that Pakistan had to chip early wickets in order to make a comeback. Sohail Khan took charge and got the wicket of Cook with the help of Yasir Shah. On the first ball of the 39th over, Cook got a thick edge off a back of a length delivery. The ball travelled towards point in the air at a good speed and needed some athleticism to be cupped. Yasir, who was deployed at point dived to his left and pulled off a stunning catch.
