Babar Azam Pakistan are very lucky to have such a player.  Because he is going to perform extensively this time for Pakistan in the test match when this game is held in Karachi.  Because among them there are very few such players in Pakistan, he is the best in terms of bowling and has shown very good performance in terms of batting.  It is very difficult to score 161 runs from 277 balls.  And he is still unbeaten amassing an unbeaten total of 317 with the fall of five wickets in a total of 90 overs.

I am just surprised how the Pakistan team recover so well. Babar Azam never looked in the form in the previous series against England and now all of a sudden we see him making 150+ and still going on.
317 is a good score and still, they have five wickets in hand. They will be aiming at 400+ runs. I will be looking to see how Babar Azam will start his innings in 2nd day morning and whether will he be able to make 200 runs.

There is no doubt that Babar Azam is great batsmen but not a good captain. Under his captaincy Pakistan have lost so many series home and broad. I think its best time to bring back Sarfraz in the squad and give him back the captaincy also. Babar can fit in the squad as a batmen but not as a captain. Pakistan need to be careful on second day of play as they are in habit of losing quick wickets in first session of days play.
There has been a change in the performance pattern of the Pakistan team and if they can keep up the consistency in the coming days, i expect to win the match as well. However, Pakistan managed to perform admirably on the first day. A major change in Pakistan cricket can be through this test series. A few days ago Pakistan did well on the first day against England, they could not maintain that consistency for the next day. Hope Pakistan don't do anything like that event against New Zealand.
