Pakistan off-spinner Sajid Khan came up with aggressive celebrations after dismissing Ollie Pope with a ripper on Day 2 (Wednesday, October 16) of the second Test against England in Multan. Pope departed for 29 runs off 37 balls to leave the visitors at 125 for two.
The dismissal took place in the 24th over of England’s first innings. Sajid bowled a full delivery outside off and Pope leaned forward for a drive towards the covers. But the ball spun in sharply, going through the gap between Pope's bat and pad to crash onto the off-stump. The off-spinner roared in delight to celebrate the wicket.

“Vicious turn in to castle Ollie Pope. Sajid Khan gets the reward.”
