WATCH: Pat Cummins and Alex Carey runs five off single delivery during 2nd Test against Pakistan

Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test is currently underway at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Australia have won the 1st test by a huge marging of 360 runs. In the 2nd Test the visitors are chasing a target of 317 and they are in trouble with 198/5, with Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha in the crease. The Men in Green are playing their first test series after the new management. 

During the 2nd innings of the the hosts something very funny occured. Australia were 187/6, at the start of Day 4 and Pat Cummins and Alex Carey started the proceedings for the side. During that, the two batters ran an all-run five without the help of any boundary or no-ball. The incident occurred during Aamer Jamal’s bowling when Pat Cummins pushed the ball towards cover and ran a couple of runs.

The fielder at the non-striker’s end failed to collect the ball, and it went for an overthrow. Imam-ul-Haq was backed up quickly enough to save it from going for a boundary, but Cummins & Carey ran three more runs to add five runs off a single delivery. Cricket Australia (CA), has posted the video of the same in their social media account. CA in the video stated, "Have you seen this before? An all-run FIVE (with help from overthrows, of course)."

Pakistan's poor fielding show continues

Shan Masood's side have been trolled for their dismal show in the field. Opener Abdullah Shafique dropped a sitter that could have turned the match in Pakistan’s favour.  The game is balance 50-50 as only 119 runs are required for the win for the visitors as they are yet to win a red-ball game in Australia since 1995.

The Men in Green will have a tough time while scoring these runs. With Rizwan there in the crease for the visitors they have an outside chance of winning their first red-ball game since 1995 in the Kangaroos den and level the series as well so that they have something to play for in the final and third test of the series in Sydney.
