Fawad Alam became the latest Pakistani batsman to achieve the feat. As he scored an unbeaten 124 in the first innings of the ongoing 2nd Test match between the two countries. This was Fawad’s fifth Test century in just 22 innings. Becoming the quickest Asian batsman to reach the landmark of five Test centuries.
Fawad’s gritty knock helped Pakistan recover from a precarious position as they posted 302/9. In the first innings before the declaration in hopes of getting a result. Pakistani bowlers dismantled the West Indian top-order during the last session of 3rd day’s play. Restricting them to 39/3 at the end of the day. Pakistan is trailing the two-match series 1-0 after losing the first Test match by 1 wicket.
