Strangely, Shan Masood runs out on the same ball after being hit for a wicket.

At the centre of the peculiar occurrence that saw him stay not-out despite being run-out on the same delivery was Yorkshire’s captain for the Pakistani Test team, Shan Masood.

Masood (who is also Yorkshire’s captain) led his team to a 173/8 score after scoring 61 runs off of 41 deliveries in a brilliant batting performance.

As Masood faced Lancashire’s Jack Blatherwick in the fifteenth over with a batting score of 58, the event took place.

When Shan Masood attempted to knock the ball on the backfoot and struck the stumps, he believed he was out and strolled outside the wicket. Another run-out was caused by the Lancashire players when they moved the bails at the opposite end of the pitch.

He was, however, declared not out by on-field umpires James Middlebrook and Graham Lloyd in accordance with Law 31.7, which deals with a “batter leaving the wicket under a misapprehension”.

“If an umpire is satisfied that a batter has left the wicket under the false impression that they are out, even though they have not been given out,” the law says. If the fielding side takes any more action, the umpire will intervene, call a dead ball, signal it, and bring the hitter back.

After adding three more runs to his total, Shan Masood was eventually removed in the following over after getting caught behind by Saqib Mahmood.

He was named man of the match after his side won by a tight seven runs. During his 61-run innings, he hit eight boundaries, including three sixes.
