Australia captain Pat Cummins took a blinder of a return catch off his own bowling to send back Pakistan batter Azhar Ali on day three of the third Test match between the two sides in Lahore.
On Day 3 of the third Test, the Pakistan batters made the bowlers work hard for their wickets before spinner Nathan Lyon got the first breakthrough of the day, getting rid of Abdullah Shafique for 81 runs.
But Ali dug his heels in and completed a brilliant half-century. On the 4th ball of the 87th over, Azhar Ali tried to hit a picture-perfect straight drive off a relatively full delivery from Pat Cummins.

The batter struck the ball brilliantly but to everyone's utter disbelief, Cummins latched on to it at a low height, showcasing his incredible athletic reflexes. Ali had to walk back to the pavilion on 78 in 208 balls with 7 fours and 1 six to his name, with Pakistan at 214/3.
PCB Twitter handle shared the video of Cummins’ catch to dismiss Azhar Ali.
Here it is:
Australia had made 391 in their first innings with Usman Khawaja (91), Cameron Green (79), Alex Carey (67) and Steve Smith (59) being the major run-getters.
