Pakistan is in a very strong position now 353/7 is a good score against Zimbabwe.

505/7 at the end of tea on the 2nd day and don't forget Abid Ali still playing at 215. I am sure some records for the 7th wicket partnership in test matches may have shattered today. Pakistan will easily this match but point of interest now is whether Abid Ali make a triple century ?

But it seems Babar Azam was thinking something different, instead of looking for Abid Ali to score triple century, he might be looking for victory from this test match; that must be a reason why he had declared when Nauman Ali got out for 97 runs. Abid Ali really showed his character; yes batting all through the innings definitely needs lots of patience in test cricket. He definitely deserves a triple century but I will not blame the decision of a skipper for teams' victory sake.

Abid Ali's striking rate might has been a concern here; he was batting around 52 strike rate; even it is a good one in test cricket, he needs to move toward at least 60 so that he might have got better chances to go for triple century before the tea of second day.
