Pakistan team, under the leadership of Babar Azam, has achieved another milestone in Test cricket.
During the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Monday, Pakistan scored their fastest team hundred in the 21st century.
According to renowned statistician Mazher Arshad, Pakistan has scored 100 off 100 balls today which is their fastest team hundred in 21st century.
"100 off 100 balls (16.4 overs) - this is Pakistan's fastest team hundred in first innings in Tests in 21st century. Might possibly be the fastest in their history (data not available of some old Tests)," he wrote.
Pakistan also didn't play any maiden over in their first innings.
Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood built up a strong partnership after Pakistan lose opening batter Imam-ul-Haq earlier in the third session on day one of the second Test.
After bowling out Sri Lanka for 166 runs, Pakistan were off to a poor start with batting followed by the early dismissal of Imam. The left-handed batter scored just six runs before walking back to the pavilion.
Abdullah and Shan carried the innings for Pakistan and scored 108 runs off 117 balls. Shan played a quick knock of 51 runs which is now called as 'Pakball formula' on social media.
Babar (8*) is at the crease with Abdullah (74*) as Pakistan walked out at stumps with 145-2 in 28.3 overs.
Earlier Abrar Ahmed and Naseem Shah rattled Sri Lanka before Tea on day one as they were bowled out for 166 in the first innings.
