What's more, Babar, who was searching in charge, missed the mark while endeavoring a speedy single and was abandoned 78.

Diminished to 219 for 6 not long after Tea, and with the old ball moving for the pacers, Pakistan had placed itself in a sand trap on a surface where batting shouldn't have been as precarious.
