Pakistan have been playing against Zimbabwe in the second Test match at Harare Sports Club in Harare. However, the first two days of the second Test have already come to a close as well. However, Nauman Ali missed a well-deserved hundred.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bat first. Although they lost Imran Butt in the 8th over, both Abid Ali and Azhar Ali steadied the ship. The duo added a 236-run partnership for the second wicket before Azhar Ali departed for 126 as well which also included 17 fours and a six. Meanwhile, Abid Ali also scored an unbeaten 215 with the help of 29 fours as well.

Nauman Ali misses his well-deserved century:

Notably, Tendai Chisoro has bowled a wide during the second delivery of the 148th over. However, Nauman Ali has lifted his leg by an inch in the air. However, the wicketkeeper Regis Chakabva’s brilliance sent the batsman in as he caught the ball quickly and dislodged the bails. Meanwhile, this incident saw the square-leg umpire go upstairs for the decision.

However, Nauman Ali lifted his back foot casually and was slow at the crease. The wicketkeeper brilliantly used the opportunity and stumped him as well. Since the batsman was not in a position to return, the wicketkeeper did his job quite well. That saw Nauman Ali got out for 97 off 104 balls which also included 9 fours and 5 sixes as well.
