    Kamran Ghulam's Debut Century Guides Pakistan To 259 For 5 Against England

    By IANS News October 15, 2024 • 18:42 PM View: 846
    Enter Kamran Ghulam: Kamran Ghulam scripted a dream Test debut for Pakistan, scoring a brilliant century to help his team recover from an early collapse on day one of the second Test against England. Drafted in to replace an out-of-form Babar Azam, the 29-year-old seized the opportunity, guiding Pakistan to 259 for five at stumps.

    After Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and opted to bat, the team quickly found itself in trouble at 19-2, following the early dismissals of openers Abdullah Shafique (7) and Shan (3). England’s captain Ben Stokes introduced spin after just five overs, and Jack Leach immediately responded by knocking over both openers, leaving Pakistan in a precarious position.

    Enter Kamran Ghulam. The debutant showed no signs of nerves as he confidently counter-attacked, taking on Leach with a six straight down the ground early in his innings. Together with opener Saim Ayub, who played an impressive knock of 77, Kamran helped steady the innings. Their 149-run partnership dragged Pakistan back into the contest, with both players playing with fluency and composure.
