Mohammad Saifuddin has struck to remove Babar Azam for 96. Babar and Imam-ul-Haq were going strong and had stitched a solid 157-run stand for the 2nd wicket. Pakistan lacked intent in the 1st 5 overs, considering they needed a total in excess of 400 to keep their chances alive. They lost Fakhar Zaman early after winning the toss and opting to bat.
