KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - The second test between Pakistan and Australia ended in a draw at Karachi's National Stadium on Wednesday.
Pakistan made a daring attempt to pull off the most successful chase in Test history before fighting it out for a draw in the second Test against Australia in Karachi, with captain Babar Azam hitting 196 in one of the greatest innings of modern times.
KARACHI, Pakistan : The second test between Pakistan and Australia ended in a draw at Karachi's National Stadium on Wednesday.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam on Wednesday made light work of Australia bowlers, and as a result, he registered a couple of massive records. Babar scored 196 off 425 balls, which is now the the highest score by any captain in the fourth innings of a Test. The maverick batter achieved the feat on Day 5 of the ongoing second Test at the National Stadium, Karachi. The stylish right-hander had earlier went past former Pakistan batter Younis Khan to register the highest score by a Pakistan player in fourth innings of a Test. Younis had scored an unbeaten 171 against Sri Lanka in 2015.
Pakistan are currently taking on Australia in the ongoing second Test at the National Stadium in Karachi. Pakistan have been asked to chase a mammoth target of 506 after Australia declared their second innings at 97/2. Chasing the daunting target, Pakistan lost two early wickets, and were reduced to 21 for two at one stage on Day 4. Nathan Lyon provided Australia with the early breakthrough, dismissing Imam-ul-Haq. However, Azhar Ali's bizarre dismissal in the 23th over of the second innings got the internet talking.
Set a target of 506 against Australia in the ongoing second Test, Pakistan was in a precarious position at 21/2 but Pakistan skipper Babar Azam rose to the challenge to score a ton against all odds that kept his side in the game. India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took note of Babar Azam's performance and hailed the stylish right-hander for his fighting hundred. As a result of this performance, Ashwin now thinks that the match would have an interesting Day 5 with all three results possible. "Babar Azam, going to be an exciting finish tomorrow. #PAKvAUS," tweeted Ashwin.
