Fawad Alam century puts Pakistan ahead

KINGSTON: Fawad Alam continued his Test resurgence as he put Pakistan on top on Day 3 of the second Test against West Indies with an unbeaten 124 to help the tourists to 302/9 declared at Sabina Park on Monday (IST).

Shaheen Afridi (2/13) and Faheem Ashraf (1/0) then reduced West Indies to 39/3 by stumps.

Only 23 years old when he first broke into the side, Alam made a second innings Test century on debut in 2009 against Sri Lanka. He played three Tests that year but had to wait until August 2020 for his fourth.

Since his return to the side, Alam has been quickly making up for lost time, with four centuries since December. His five Test tons to date have come against five different opponents in five different countries.

Brief scores: Pakistan 302 for 9 decl (B Azam 75, F Alam 124 not out, M Rizwan 31; K Roach 3/68, J Seales 3/31, J Holder 2/46) vs West Indies 39 for 3 (S Afridi 2/13). IANS
