New Delhi, Dec 26 (Ians) The start of the first Test between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi produced a never-seen-before feat in 145 years of history of Men’s Test cricket when the first two wickets of the hosts fell to stumpings.
As Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood were stumped by Tom Blundell in the first session, it produced a feat which had never been seen before in Men’s Test cricket – stumpings being the first two modes of dismissals in the longest format of the game.
Newly-appointed New Zealand skipper Tim Southee introduced veteran left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel into the attack in just the fourth over of the day and the move paid dividends almost immediately as Shafique was out stumped by Blundell for seven.
Then just three overs later the Kiwis had their second and it was Masood that perished this time, with the left-hander stumped by Blundell off...

Rawalpindi, Dec 2 (Ians) Openers Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq stitched an unbeaten 181-run opening stand to lead Pakistan’s fightback in reply to England’s 657 on the second day of the first Test, here on Friday.
Shafique (89 not out) and fellow opener Imam (90 not out) looked comfortable and confident at the crease and were marched towards centuries of their own at stumps on Day 2 as the tourists toiled in the field in the afternoon and evening sessions after being bowled out before lunch.
England captain Ben Stokes constantly tinkered with the field, keeping several players close to the bat, but his bowlers struggled to create many chances on a docile Rawalpindi pitch.
The visitors used six of their bowling options but were unable to find the breakthrough. Wicketkeeper Ollie Pope had two half-chances while standing in for Ben Foakes, who was still suffering the after-effects of a viral infection that spread...
