In the third Test match between hosts Pakistan and England, batter Harry Brook notched up his third century of the series as the visitors closed in on Pakistan's first innings total of 304/10. With the an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, England are looking to complete a clean sweep on the hosts.
In the 33rd over of England's first innings, Brooks flicked Mohammad Wasim Jr's fifth ball towards deep mid-wicket and ran two runs with Captain Ben Stokes. The duo tried to fetch an unlikely third run, but Brook turned back to his crease on seeing the incoming throw towards the bowler's end. Stokes got run-out as he had already sprinted towards the striker's end.
A video of Stokes' unfortunate dismissal was shared on Twitter on official handle of Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB). They titled the video "Utter, utter confusion!" and it soon got viral on social media.
