Pakistan vs England: Pakistan ‘s premier pacer Shaheen Afridi was heard taunting Babar Azam in the middle of the Multan Test. It is no secret that there are multiple factions within the Pakistani cricket team. Also, Shaheen and Babar do not share a healthy equation – that too is common knowledge and hence it was no surprise when the pacer was taunting the premier batter on day four of the ongoing Test against England in Multan.
So What Really Happened?
Babar is often roasted by fans for scoring big runs against the lesser-ranked teams and not coming up with performances against the better teams. Fans address him with “Zimbabar” or just “Zimbu” and now it seems like Pakistan cricketers also use this nickname to troll the batter.

Meanwhile, Pakistan are on the verge of losing the first Test against England. Harry Brook became the first England batter in 34 years to hit a triple-century in Tests, as his record-breaking partnership with Joe Root put the visitors on the cusp of a big win over Pakistan on Day Four.

Brook smashed a remarkable 317 and shared a partnership of 454 with Root, who made 262, as England declared their innings at a whopping 823/7, the fourth-highest team total in Tests. Brook and Root also became the first England duo to have two 200-run stands together and the ninth pair from any country to achieve such a feat.
The 454-run partnership between Brook and Root is now the fourth-highest of all-time in Test cricket, as well as the highest-ever partnership in the longer format for England.
After England took a lead of 267 runs, they ended Day Four on a high by reducing a crumbling Pakistan to 152-6, with 115 more still in deficit to be covered by the listless hosts, whose woes increased with Abrar Ahmed being hospitalised due to fever and body ache.
