“The last ball is always nervy – it was a loose shot,” Azhar told Sky Sports. “But I’m really pleased that I got a hundred today. The reputation is we don’t perform in English conditions and you want to prove that wrong.”
Pakistan sits at 257 for three at stumps, 40 runs behind England’s first innings 297.
Keep with The National over the weekend for updates on the four-Test matchup.
