Babar's latest failure has extended his Test century drought to 36 innings. The Pakistan captain has now found himself on an unwanted list alongside several bowlers who have gone through lengthy spells without scoring a Test hundred.
He attempted to defend but played with hard hands, resulting in an edge that flew towards third slip. Jordan Cox moved across and completed the catch, with Babar walking back after scoring eight runs off 10 balls, including two fours.

Azan Awais provided the biggest resistance for Pakistan, scoring 46 from 102 balls. Saud Shakeel contributed 16, while Babar was among several Pakistan batters who failed to spend significant time at the crease.
