Scorecard:

That was a typical Pakistan moment. Or an Inzamam moment to be precise.

Among the first things they teach you in school is that if the ball goes behind the batsmen, the running will be on the non-striker's call.

Murali came on in the 14th over, Hafeez swept one to fine leg and was looking at the ball. By the time the fielder had picked up the ball, Akmal had made his ground at the striker's end.

With both batsmen at the striker's end, there was more comedy to follow as Sangakkara fired his throw to Murali wide. Thankfully mid-on picked it up and threw it back to Murali who whipped the bails off. All this while the batsmen were arguing who should walk.

When they couldn't come to a conclusion, the umpire sends Hafeez packing.

A promising partnership comes to a comic end.

While on run outs, Mande and Manu mix up their run-outs and Ranauts...

On Silly Point
