RAWALPINDI: Babar Azam, Pakistan’s all-round captain and a world-class hitter bowled on the fourth day of the first Test between Australia and Pakistan at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.
As Australia drew near to matching Pakistan’s first innings score of 476-4, declared as the run-fest appeared to be heading for a dreary draw, the skipper bowled the final over on the penultimate day.

Meanwhile, overnight rain wiped out the whole morning session on day four, virtually putting an end to any chance of victory for either side in Australia’s first Test in Pakistan in 24 years.
After four days of bat-ball dominance on a level track at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the touring team concluded the penultimate day on 449-7, 27 runs behind.
In a good batting performance by the tourists, Marnus Labuschagne scored 90 runs and Steve Smith added 78.
Mitchell Starc was on 12 when the game was called off due to inclement weather, with skipper Pat Cummins on four at the other end.
