What a time to bowl your first no-ball in Test cricket

Chase to Ahmed Shehzad, 1 no ball, what was Shehzad trying to do? He'll do well to answer that to his coaches in the dressing room. Or wait. He can actually do that later, because Chase has overstepped. He sees Shehzad stepping out and fires the full ball down leg cleverly, Shehzad can't reach and the keeper takes a couple of seconds to gather his composure and then break the bails. Shehzad was so far down that it could have qualified as a run-out.
What a time to bowl your first no-ball in Test cricket. Shehzad can walk blindfolded on a freeway and not get runover

oh.one more.

Gabriel to Ahmed Shehzad, 1 no ball, pins him in front of middle! This is a searing delivery - at 93 mph - and it zips in at the batsman, goes through Shehzad's lazy drive on the up and hits him on the back leg. This is plumb, but Shehzad goes for a review, and would you believe it, Gabriel has no-balled! Tactical DRS, eh? Well done, Pakistan
