Pakistan finally managed to do something in which they are the undoubted champions. Yes, you guessed it correct – A comical and ironic batting collapse! Needing to battle it out for just 84 overs, the Pakistani batsmen seemed to be in utterly no shape to combat, as a spineless display of batting was witnessed at Birmingham.
The crowd, comprising mainly of Pakistani supporters, kept on yelling their team slogans, but to no avail as one batsman after another made his way back to pavilion in simply no time. England bowled well, but Pakistan batted like a bunch of unproven club cricketers, who seemed to be completely laid back in their approach.
By the virtue of Pakistan’s humiliating collapse, England now lead the 4 match series 2-1. Fans on Twitter were disgruntled by Pakistan’s batting performance and trolled the side. Below, are some of the tweets.

Lets hope Pakistan team practices more how to bat properly than doing pushups. They have given up too easily today! #ENGvPAK #PAKvsENG
