In the second Test in Abu Dhabi, Abbas ended the first innings with stunning figures of 5-33 to bundle out Australia for 145, helping his team take a 137-run lead.

Following Abbas’ heroics, Vaughan took to social media to laud the pacer and his post read: “Having watched Mahammad Abbas now for over a year ... I have decided he would get me out every time within about 6 balls.”

After picking two wickets on the first day, Abbas had Shaun Marsh, in the fourth over of the day, for three and Travis Head for 14 before wrapping up the innings by trapping Starc leg-before for 34.

This was Abbas’ third five-wicket haul in a burgeoning career of ten Tests.
