Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam’s poor run of form continued as he got out for a middling score of 30 off 71 deliveries on day one of the opening Test against England. The right-handed batter got trapped lbw by Chris Woakes in the second-last over of the day and was unsuccessful in reversing the decision despite taking the DRS.
Here’s how fans on X have reacted to Babar’s dismissal:
Babar Azam played like a night watchman today and got out the same way!
He needs to play domestic 1st class cricket to work on his in swing deliveries pic.twitter.com/hpuaKkTozZ

Babar Azam could not score on a pitch where @shani_official & @imabd28 scored centuries. What a fraud cricketer. #PakistanCricket #PAKvENG
