Nahid Rana: A new express finds his fame in Rawalpindi

Nahid Rana runs in like the wind from the Pavilion End at the Rawalpindi Stadium. He releases the ball like a catapult, from high up - he is 6'2" after all. The 140kph deliveries thud into Litton Das' gloves behind the stumps.

It's still scorching hot in Rawalpindi. There are barely 100 people in the stands. Rana, like so many other fast bowlers from the subcontinent, is used to bowling in empty stadiums. Rawalpindi, home of perhaps the most famous "express" in cricket, is no different. On this dull Monday morning, it's possibly worse.

Rana touches 150kph on a few occasions. He had crossed 150 on his Test debut against Sri Lanka. He is not entirely an unknown for Pakistan.

I think this is good outcome for Pakistan. Now they struggled I hope so they win second test match. But now a days their is too much hot weather but somewhere raining.
