In the very first over of this match, Mohammed Shami looked a bit confused. People also saw the pacer measuring the distance with a tape. Some fans looked confused as to what really is the problem.

Actually what happened is, after bowling the first ball of his first over, when Shami prepared to bowl the second ball, his own run-up did not look right to him and he stopped bowling. When Shami started bowling one more time, he still looked confused. He then pointed towards the dug out.

After this, the match was interrupted for some time and due to this the umpire standing on the field also looked a bit unhappy. Shami measured the distance with a tape according to his runs from the wicket and then bowled in his own rhythm.
