LAHORE: Mark Wood, an English fast bowler, helped the visitors bowl out Pakistan for a disappointing 145 in the fifth T20 international on Wednesday.At Gaddafi Stadium, Wood, who had only played in two international matches since having elbow surgery, took 3-20 after the host team was given the chance to bat.
As Pakistan was dismissed in 19 overs, Wood’s fellow pacers Sam Curran (2-23) and David Willey (2-23) also bowled aggressively.As Pakistan lost six wickets off 48 balls for just 58 runs during a middle-order collapse from 42-1, opener Mohammad Rizwan clung on with a resolute 46-ball 63.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, was removed by Wood in the third over for nine runs, and David Willey then removed Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed to put an end to Pakistan.Pakistan is in peril at 100-7 after Mohammad Nawaz, for a duck, and Shadab Khan were eliminated by careless runouts.
