Pakistan skipper and World No. 1 ODI batsman Babar Azam had a disappointing outing in his first appearance on the England Tour. Home team pacer Saqib Mahmood dismissed the Pakistan skipper for a two-ball duck to trigger a top-order collapse in the opposition ranks.What a start for England!Saqib Mahmood has struck twice in the first over, sending both Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam back for a duck.#ENGvPAK | https://t.co/eXSo1NBXVi pic.twitter.com/cxnyOL005d— ICC (@ICC) July 8, 2021The England Cricket Board has had to rename their squad for the series against Pakistan after seven members from their original team tested positive for COVID-19. The whole camp has been isolated in accordance with the UK government's policies on the coronavirus.Ben Stokes has made an impromptu return to the English side after missing the previous series and is leading his nation in the games against Pakistan. The ECB named a very inexperienced 18-man side to ensure that the series goes on according to the original schedule. The ECB has given many notable domestic performers a chance in the absence of regular stars.New skipper Ben Stokes won the toss in Cardiff and invited the opposition to bat first. In the absence of regular pacers, most of them expected the England bowlers to struggle against the strong Pakistan team.Saqib Mahmood's opening over was bowled at an average of 140kph. That's the fastest opening over for England in an ODI since Mark Wood went 141kph against the West Indies in February 2019. #ENGvPAK— The CricViz Analyst (@cricvizanalyst) July 8, 2021Babar Azam failed to give Pakistan a good start against EnglandBut Saqib Mahmood produced an excellent performance with the new ball and gave England the ideal start. He pouched the vital wickets of Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam in the span of the first three balls of the innings to shock the Pakistan camp.Cricket fans noticed this and soon took to Twitter to troll Babar Azam for his duck against the second-string English bowlers. They used references to his previous performances against Zimbabwe and made fun of his record against top-tier teams in International cricket. Here are some of the reactions:As soon as I found channel, Babar Azam was already out. #EngvPak— Hizer khattak (isolophilia) (@Eqseptionall) July 8, 2021Babar Azam last 30 ODI innings:0, 94, 31, 103, 125, 77*, 19, 31, 115, 96, 45, 101*, 69, 48, 30, 63, 22, 80, 115, 15, 51, 16, 24, 41*, 69, 12, 49, 92, 46, 0.Worst possible start of the series— M.Abduل Rehmaن Awaن (@Ab__Rehman_) July 8, 2021#PAKvENGBabar Azam pic.twitter.com/YRyTopbD2B— Ctrl C + Ctrl Memes🇮🇳 (@Ctrlmemes_) July 8, 2021Goat batsman and world no.1 Babar Azam to Saqib Mahmood 😁😁#ENGvPAK pic.twitter.com/9xiif9lRp9#PAKvEng— Mohammad Hazran🇵🇰 (@KhazranSays) July 8, 2021@daniel86cricket To Babar Azam #ENGvsPAK #ENGvPAK pic.twitter.com/nt1aKRWmND— Cric_Crazy_Yash_647 (@CricketIsLoveRY) July 8, 2021Babar Azam out on zero against Football team. pic.twitter.com/9leEx7EqbY— Waqas Akhter 🗨 (@waqasakhter077) July 8, 2021You troll him or whateverSo what if he scored a duck against a strong teamBut Babar will bounce back against ZimbabweThats Babar Azam for you 🔥🔥🙌🏻— Phoenix 🇮🇳 (@Phoenix9904) July 8, 2021Most ducks as captain in international cricket in 20213 - Babar Azam*3 - Virat Kohli#ENGvPAK #ENGvsPAK— Bibekananda Sahu 🇮🇳 (@IamBibeka) July 8, 2021Babar azam wanted to watch his own country Zimbabwe match so got out early no excuses👀— Farhan (@__farhan12) July 8, 2021Babar Azam and his team pic.twitter.com/v9D1fpe2hv— Witty Nationalist 🇮🇳 (@WittyManeesh) July 8, 2021#PAKvENG Babar Azam & Imam Can’t live without each other!!!
