An `illegal feilding` during the second ODI match against West Indies by Pakistan skipper Babar Azam cost his team five runs. Though it did not impact the result of the match as Pakistan won by a huge 120-run margin, it did bring into focus the law of fielding during the match in Multan.

In the 29th over of the West Indies innings, Babar Azam was spotted to have picked up one of the wicket-keeping gloves from Mohammad Rizwan and used it to collect a throw behind the stumps which was deemed as illegal fielding by the on-field umpires, who as a result, added five extra runs to the West Indies total, said a report on the ICC`s official website.
