In a run fest, the first Test match between Australia and Pakistan played at the Rawalpindi stadium ended as a draw. The pitch used for the first match has been receiving a lot of negative comments from all around the world as it had nothing for the bowlers. However, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) does not think that the International Cricket Council (ICC) will rate it ‘poor’ or ‘not up to the mark’ for longest format of the game.

Team Australia who have arrived in Pakistan after a big gap of 23 years are starting their tour in three-match Test series. Played at Rawalpindi, a total of 1187 runs were scored while only 14 wickets had fallen over the course of five days in the first Test match.

Winning the toss, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam decided to have a bat first at a belter of a wicket. The decision was also proven to be right after the home side piled up 476/4 before declaring their innings. Senior batter Azhar Ali and opener Imam-ul-Haq registered a century under their name in the first innings. In reply, Australia batting order also made some hefty contributions with all top four batters scoring half centuries with Usman Khawaja missing his well deserved century by just three runs. Marnus Labuschagne also stroked a 90 off 158 balls.

Australia didn’t manage to take a single wicket in Pakistan’s second inning

Australia were eventually all-out at a score of 459 with just a day of play remaining in the Test match. The visitors didn’t even manage to take a single wicket in Pakistan’s second inning as both openers Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique stitched an opening partnership of 252 runs making their centuries in the process as well. The opening-duo  even set a new record for the most runs scored by an opener pair in partnership against Australia.

“Turning up to a pitch that’s probably not a traditional pitch you would get here in Rawalpindi, and it’s probably clear they’ve made an effort to try and nullify the pace bowling,” Cummins was quoted by Times Now.
“I think that’s a positive. And, sub-continent conditions, coming away with a draw it’s not a bad result,” he added.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
