Team Pakistan is all set for their three-Test tour of Europe. The team is set to play Ireland in a historic game commencing on May 11. After the conclusion of the Test, they will play two Tests against England. The preparations have already begun and the warm-up game between Pakistan and Kent was recently played. After a dismal batting show, the Pakistani fans were treated by an absolute beauty bowled by Mohammad Amir on the final day.
Bowling in the 56th over in the final hours of the game, Mohammad Amir bowled a scorching yorker to the Kent batsman Alex Blake. Blake had no clue about the delivery and ended up being squared up at the wicket. The off stump and the middle-stump went for a toss and it was an absolute delight for the Pakistani fans to see the stumps flying. Amir could not take any more wickets in the game though, and the match ended in a draw.

Talking about the match, it was a four day practice game played at St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first. The visiting side failed to get their act going and the wickets fell in clusters in the match. The frequent dismissals did no good to the Pakistani side and the run scoring could never get an impetus.
Imam-ul-Haq, whose selection in the squad was being questioned, turned out to be the best batsman for the Pakistani team. He scored 61 off 111 deliveries with 9 fours to his name. Pakistan bundled out for 168 in 55.2 overs in the innings.
In response, Kent were jolted early by Hasan Ali who dismissed Daniel Bell-Drummond in the very second over of the innings. However, post his dismissal, Sean Dickson and Kent skipper Joe Denly added 160 runs for the second wicket for Kent. Dickson scored 74 and Denly remained unbeaten on 113 as Kent finished with 209/4 when the match ended on the final day.
