After the lunch break, captain Babar Azam completed his 150 runs. Fawad Alam was also the guest for only 9 runs on 277 runs and he was dismissed by Pat Cummins.
After that a partnership was formed between the captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Both of them added 115 runs for their team but even more than that they played 248 balls.
Pakistani fans were shocked when captain Babar Azam lost his wicket for 196 runs. On this occasion, the spectators at the National Stadium Karachi were also overwhelmed.
As soon as Babar Azam was dismissed, Faheem Ashraf lost his wicket on the next ball and Nathan Lyon’s easy ball.
However, wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan, who was on the carriages with the tail-enders, showed his class and continued batting responsibly.
In the closing moments of the match, Mohammad Rizwan completed his magnificent century and ended the match with a draw with an unbeaten 104 runs.
