Overview

• In the sixth over at Edgbaston, Shoaib Malik’s spinning delivery beat Phil Mustard and Akmal misjudged a straightforward stumping chance behind the stumps.
• The miss gave Mustard a reprieve that he seized to compile a well-made half-century and pressure the Pakistan Champions’ defence.
• Pakistan’s total of 161 was bolstered by Mohammad Hafeez’s 54 off 34 balls and a late 27 not out from Aamer Yamin.
• Despite fifties from Mustard and Ian Bell, the Pakistan Champions held firm to defend the target and win by five runs.
• Clips of the error swiftly circulated online, with fans mocking Akmal’s glovework and recalling his decade-long record of wicketkeeping lapses.
