Pakistan's white-ball skipper Babar Azam found himself unimpressed as fans swarmed him for selfies in Cardiff ahead of the third T20I in the four-game series against England. A video circulating on social media shows the right-handed batter scolding fans and requesting some space instead of being mobbed. Security officials were present with him during the incident.

The Lahore-born star, dressed in a white t-shirt and cream-coloured trousers, has a significant fan following. However, Babar appeared irked as he was busy and fans continued to pester him, prompting him to ask them to give him some room.

Meanwhile, the Men in Green are looking to level the series in the third T20I against England in Cardiff on Tuesday after losing the second match in Birmingham by 23 runs. England will be without their regular captain Jos Buttler, who is on paternity leave as he and his partner expect their third child.

In the second T20I in Birmingham, Buttler led from the front with a 51-ball 84, propelling England to a total of 183 in 20 overs. The English bowlers then collectively took wickets, with Reece Topley taking three, to bowl Pakistan out for 160 in 19.2 overs.
