Argument Begins after Bouncer Hits Sarfaraz’s Helmet
An argument broke out between the two players after a bouncer from the fast bowler had hit the former Pakistan captain on the helmet, a ball that the umpire called a no-ball. After hitting the helmet, the ball was deflected towards third man. After he ran the bye to the bowler’s end, Sarfaraz had a few words to communicate to the young paceman. It was not clear what bothered Sarfaraz as a bouncer is a legitimate delivery.
