Pakistan vs Australia: Pat Cummins’ Series-Clinching Delivery Uproots Naseem Shah’s Off And Middle Stump. Watch | Cricket News

Nathan Lyon picked five while skipper Pat Cummins took three wickets as Australia bowled out Pakistan for 235 on an entertaining final day to take the third and final Test at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, also taking the three-match series 1-0. Cummins, who had taken five wickets in the first innings, cleaned up tail-ender Naseem Shah as Australia won the match 115 runs. It was a length delivery from Cummins, and Naseem tried to defend it. He, however, completely missed the ball, which went on to uproot his off and middle stump.

The video of the dismissal was shared by PCB on their official Twitter handle.
