Pakistan skipper Babar Azam roared with the bat on Day 1 of the first Test against New Zealand in Karachi on Monday (December 26). After having a fair share of struggle with the bat, Babar finally got his mojo back with his ninth ton in the longest format of the game. Riding on his unbeaten 161 off 277, Babar paired with Sarfaraz Ahmed (86 off 153) to rescue Pakistan from a precarious 110/4 to 317/5 at the close of Day 1.
