That straighten after pitching. Abid was lining up for a flick though the leg side but the ball spins the other way to take the outside edge. The ball runs past the vacant slip cordon and towards third man. The batsmen have enough time in the world to get back for third.

D Perera to Azam
FOUR! 100 for Babar Azam on his very first innings on home soil. He punches his fist in the air, takes his helmet off and has both his arms aloft. Best batter for Pakistan in recent times without a doubt. Also, it has been a very fluent innings by him. His third ton in Tests. He gets there by slapping this short ball through covers for a boundary.
