#4 Younis Khan’s nervousness gets the better of him
In walked Younis Khan who was by then an established Test batsman for Pakistan. As we would often see throughout his stellar career, the best time to get him out is at the start of his innings. Despite being a nervous starter, the right-hander is extremely hard to dismiss once he gets his eye in.
This time, Irfan was waiting for him. Buoyed by the early scalp, he steamed in and produced a booming in-swinger to Younis. It was one of those deliveries that would trouble any batsman, let alone someone who was just starting his innings. The feet went nowhere and the batsman was trapped right in front. Umpire Simon Taufel had no hesitation in lifting his finger.
