Fans in shock with Joe Root's Superhuman prediction of pitch points of Babar Azam's dismissal against Ollie Robinson in 2nd Test
The second Test between Pakistan and England is evenly poised at the stumps of Day 3. Pakistan need another 157 runs to win, while England needs six wickets to win the match and series 2-0. The hosts are at 198/4 at the end of the third day, with Saud Shakeel (54) and Faheem Ashraf (3) at the crease.

England set a target of 355 runs to chase for the home team. Notably, the visitors registered a famous win in the first game of the three-match test series at Rawalpindi Stadium.

Chasing the target, Pakistan started pretty well with a 66-run partnership for the first wicket between Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan. Both batters looked good to negotiate the initial overs. But once the partnership was broken, Pakistan lost a few wickets.

From 66 for no wicket, the hosts were reduced to 83/3 in their chase. Pakistan lost their top three wickets to English pacers due to incredible deliveries. But the best of the three was the ball bowled by English pacer Ollie Robinson, who dismissed Pakistani skipper Babar Azam with a peach of a delivery.

Robinson dismissed the Pakistani skipper in both innings of the second test. During the drinks break in the second session on Day 3, Robinson and Joe Root were seen discussing the way Babar Azam was dismissed. However, Root did something really unexpected and pointed out the exact pitch point of the ball where Babar got out.

However, Robinson wasn't agreeing with that and pointed at a different point where he thought the ball was pitched. Notably, the pacer wasn't even close to the pitched point, and Root was exactly accurate with the point he highlighted, which caught the attention of many fans on social media.
