England was awarded the victory |
On the fourth day of the test, the Australian umpire Darrell Hair stated that the ball had been manipulated by Pakistan and had the ball replaced. According to the rules, the English batsmen were allowed to choose the new ball, which the Pakistani bowlers were not happy about , as they had just managed to reverse swing with the old ball. Shortly afterwards, poor light ensured that the tea break was taken earlier and when the game was about to start again the Pakistani players decided to delay the game in protest. The two umpires first went to the middle of the field, followed by the English batsman, but since the Pakistani team did not follow, they took the bails from the stumps and left the field again. After some negotiations, the Pakistani players stepped onto the field half an hour later and agreed to play. However, since the umpires refused to re-enter the field, the Pakistanis left the field again and another half hour later the game day was declared over. Only in the late evening and further negotiations was it announced that the world association would evaluate the game in such a way that Pakistan had given up on it. Then the further course of the tour was in danger. The ICC scheduled a disciplinary hearing against the Pakistani captain Inzamam-ul-Haq , but it had to be postponed because the chief referee of the ICC could not be present. Since a possible ban would have made the boycott of Pakistan likely, the parties did not make a decision during the tour and so the tour continued. After further protests from Pakistan, Darrell Hair was banned from playing at international games at the end of the year. Hair sued the exclusion, but withdrew it and was rehabilitated from 2008.
