Warner’s Pakistan tour has been eventful so far to say the least. He was seen shaking his legs to the crowd at the end of the first Test, while on the field. But the runs haven’t quite come by.
Warner’s scores in the series now reads 68, 36, 7, 7 and 51. But the more interesting duel has been between Shaheen and Warner. Aftre a defensive stroke back to the bowler on day three, Warner and Shaheen were at each other. The left-arm quick was seen going up to the Aussie and sharing a word through his helmet. However, the scene cooled down immediately as the two shared laughs immediately after.

On his Instagram story, Warner shared a picture with Shaheen post-match.
On day 4, the action was still fun despite Warner having a lengthy animated discussion with the umpires right before his dismissal. As Shaheen ended Warner’s stay at the crease with a peach, the bowler and batter were seen shaking hands amicably.

Warner and Shaheen’s”Hate and Love story” is better than Pakistani dramas.
