[Watch] Sajid Khan sends back first-innings centurion Ben Duckett for a duck in 2024 PAK vs ENG 2nd Test

Sajid Khan took the prized wicket of Ben Duckett in the second Test between Pakistan and England in Multan on Day 3 (Thursday, October 17). Duckett, who scored 114 runs off 129 balls in the first innings, departed for a two-ball duck in the second essay.

The dismissal took place in the first over of England’s run chase. Sajid bowled a tossed-up delivery outside off and Duckett failed to nail the sweep shot. The southpaw managed an inside edge that went up in the air and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan came up with a brilliant reflex catch.

Sajid roared in delight while staring down at Duckett, who looked disappointed as he walked off the ground.

“Sensational Sajid is successful in the first over! Centurion in the first innings. Ben Duckett is dismissed for nought.”
