- Rumman Raees filling the big shoes:
Pakistan lost the services of their spearhead, Mohammed Amir, as the left arm pacer was injured before the start of the match. They replaced him with their backup pacer Rumman Raees. Big Match, big shoes to fill and Rumman Raees did more than fine with the ball. He took the crucial wicket of in-form English opener Alex hales to give Pakistan its first break and later chipped in with the wicket of Liam Plunkett in the penultimate over. His main job was to make sure Pakistan doesn’t miss Amir’s services and one must admit he has done that pretty well.
