More appealed for a run out leaping up and down that made Miandad furious. Miandad then turned towards More and the two exchanged a few words. The next ball, More again flipped the bails off but Miandad, who survived the run out again, this time imitated More jumping up and down.

A fired up Prasad clean bowled the Pakistan opener next ball and gave him a send-off.
