'Yasir's helicopter local': Fans remind Shah whom the OG helicopter belongs to

Pakistan's ace spinner Yasir Shah, after failing to shine with the ball, notched up his maiden Test century against Australia on the third day of the second Test at Adelaide Oval. Shah stabilized the falling Pakistan innings as he scored 113 runs off 213 deliveries with 13 boundaries to his name. As he breached the century-mark, Shah had an exhilarating celebration and ended it with a swing of his bat overhead. In response to the leg-spinner's celebration, Cricket Australia's official Twitter handle put out a tweet which read, "Cricket's new helicopter?" This was in reference to former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his trademark 'Helicopter Shot' which is adored by cricket fans around the world.

Babar Azam misses out on a ton

Mitchell Starc stopped Babar Azam on his tracks and denied him from registering his third Test hundred as he was dismissed for 97 runs. Babar Azam played a patient knock, taking his time to slowly push the scoreboard ahead for Pakistan but failed largely because of the lack of a supporting batsman at the other end. Adding to it, Mitchell Starc's red-hot form combined with Pat Cummin's lethal spell sounded more trouble for the visitors. Starc brought up his 12th five-wicket haul in Test cricket with the wicket of Babar Azam as the Pakistan batsman suffered heartbreak after losing out on his ton by just three runs.
