Is this the new ball of the century? Pakistan's Yasir Shah has emulated Shane Warne's famous delivery with a similar dismissal of Englishman Samit Patel during the third test in UAE overnight.

Warne's famous dismissal of England's Mike Gatting during the 1993 Ashes is often referred to as the 'ball of the century',

Shah bowled Patel for 42 with a ball that pitched outside leg and spun back in to take the top of off stump.

England made 306 to hold a 72 run-lead before Pakistan reached 146 for three at stumps on day three.
