Watch: Chris Woakes' valiant boundary-saving efforts go in vain as Pakistan's Salman Agha awarded six

Agha smashed a powerful six down the ground against Jack Leach on just the second ball of the 117th over. The ball seemed destined to be caught by Chris Woakes, who was stationed at the boundary. Woakes managed to get his hands on the ball, but he was off balance and ended up throwing the ball up as he crossed the boundary line. However, displaying incredible agility, he quickly hopped back into the field of play and caught the ball again.

The on-field umpires sent the decision upstairs and the third umpire took a long look at the catch from multiple angles. In the end, it was adjudged that Woakes' foot had touched the ground outside the boundary when he had caught the ball a second time.

Agha was batting on 15 off 18 at the time and the six took him to 21 off 19. He went on to stay in the middle right until the end of the 149th over when Abrar Ahmed fell to Joe Root. To make matters worse for England, their opener Ben Duckett injured his finger taking the catch to complete the final dismissal and captain Ollie Pope had to promote himself up the order as a make-shift opener. He ended falling to Naseem Shah for a two-ball duck.

Agha, meanwhile, went on to say that he believed his innings had ended when Woakes caught the ball. “I did think it was out initially, I was walking towards the dressing room. The umpire said that he saw that his foot was on the boundary. I don't really know, I haven't seen it again. I initially thought I was out,” said the 30-year-old after the day's play.
