Babar Azam and Fawad Alam lifted Pakistan from a terrible start on Day 1 of the ongoing second Test against West Indies at Sabina Park, Kingston in Jamaica.

Fawad Alam is a 💎 He deserves a spot in ODIs to provide the middle ord💙er some consistency. He already has a good ODI average.

From 2/3 to 136/3, 134 runs for the 4th wicket partnership by Fawad Alam & Babar Azam. This is 2nd most runs by a pair at this position after team lost 3 wickets for less than 10 runs. Clive Lloyd & Larry Gomes had added 2🔯37 after West Indies had lost 3 for 1 vs I🐟ndia in 1983.
