Watch: Sajid Khan takes a blinder off his own bowling to dismiss Kavem Hodge in 1st Test

Offspinner Sajid Khan took a fantastic catch off his own bowling to get rid of Kavem Hodge on Day 2 of the first Test between Pakistan and West Indies at Multan. It was an excellent diving catch from Sajid who provided his team with a big wicket.

Sajid Khan bowled a flighted delivery outside off stump while Hodge came down the track to get to the pitch of the ball. However, he was beaten in the flight as the batter tried to dig out the ball and play a straight drive to the bowler's left.

Sajid dived full length to his left and went low to catch the ball with one hand. But the ball didn't stick to his hands cleanly and popped out of it. However, he didn't let the ball drop into the ground and somehow managed to catch it cleanly.

After taking the catch, Sajid immediately went up and celebrated the wicket. He was pumped up after getting the big wicket and was congratulated by his teammates. It was a brilliant piece of bowling from the offspinner who was all over West Indies' top order.

Sajid Khan destroys West Indies top order

Sajid Khan picked up the first four wickets of West Indies and dismissed the top four batters in the batting order. He bowled a perfect offspinner's delivery to the opener Mikyle Louis to bowl him through the gate.

It was just the opening that Pakistan needed as Sajid dismissed Keacy Carty off the next ball for a golden duck. It was an outstanding catch from the debutant Muhammad Hurraira, who flew to his right at short leg to take a brilliant catch.

Sajid didn't stop here and picked up the big wicket of West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite in his next over. Kevem Hodge was his fourth wicket of the match and was dismissed for just 4 runs. Sajid Khan finished with 4-65 in 12 overs as he was taken for a few runs in the end.

Noman Ali finishes with a five-wicket haul

While Sajid picked up a four-wicket haul, left-arm spinner Noman Ali gave him good support with a fantastic five-wicket haul. Noman finished with 5-39 in 11 overs. Noman ripped through the West Indies' middle and lower order. Legspinner Abrar Ahmed picked up the remaining wicket.

Earlier in the day, West Indies folded up Pakistan for 230 in the first innings. Pakistan started its day at 143-4 with Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan at the crease. After an early resistance, offspinner Kevin Sinclair dismissed Shakeel for 84 off 157 balls.

Salman Ali Agha was also dismissed cheaply for just 2 runs. Pakistan's tail-enders couldn't contribute much to the scoreboard and were bundled out for just 230. Rizwan scored 71 off 133 balls.
