Azan Awais Dismissed on First Ball of Test Series by Ollie Robinson
In the first Test match between Pakistan and England at Headingley, Pakistani opener Azan Awais was dismissed leg before wicket by English bowler Ollie Robinson on the very first ball of the series. Azan's dismissal marked the first time a Pakistani batter was out on the first ball of a Test series, joining a rare group of players with this record. Robinson's early breakthrough set the tone for England, who soon dismissed another Pakistani batsman, Shan Masood.
