LONDON (AP) Fakhar Zaman couldn’t resist the length ball outside off stump, so he poked at it and only nicked it.
He heard the ball pouched behind him and knew he was dismissed before he’d really got started in the biggest cricket match of his life on Sunday.
Out for 3 in the fourth over of the Champions Trophy final, he walked away from the celebrating Indians then stopped to watch the replay on the video screen at The Oval.
The replay showed medium-pacer Jasprit Bumrah overstepped. A no ball.
Fakhar got another life, and the Pakistan opener embraced it.
