Watch: James Anderson bowls unplayable outswinger to dismiss Mohammad Rizwan in PAK vs ENG 2nd Test

England veteran James Anderson stunned Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan with a brilliant delivery in the second Test in Multan.

Rizwan, who had been elevated up the order to open alongside Abdullah Shafique, got off to a good start as Pakistan tried to chase down 355 to win. However, following a 66-run partnership with Shafique, England eventually pitched the ball to Anderson for the first time in the innings.

And the 40-year-old worked his magic again, dismissing Rizwan for 30 with a delivery that snuck past his outside edge and clattered into off stump. Rizwan appeared completely perplexed as Anderson spun away in joy, and he just remained there in apparent disbelief for a long before walking off the field.

It was a brilliant outswinger and Rizwan missed the line completely after committing himself to the front foot early.
