PAK vs SA: Veteran Fawad Alam Hits Patient Century To Put Pakistan In Charge

By AFP News January 27, 2021 • 20:12 PM View: 1795

Fawad Alam gave further evidence of his considerable patience with a grafting century which helped Pakistan take a useful first-innings lead over South Africa on the second day of the first Test in Karachi on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old left-hander, who returned to the side last August after a decade in the international wilderness, scored 109 in almost six hours to anchor Pakistan's 308-8 at the National Stadium, lifting the team from a precarious overnight total of 33-4.
