Babar Azam Run Out at 88, Extends Test Century Drought Against West Indies
Pakistan captain Babar Azam was run out for 88 during the first innings of the second Test against West Indies in Port of Spain, extending his wait for a Test century to nearly four years since December 2022. The dismissal occurred after a mix-up with partner Abdullah Shafique, with a direct hit from Brandon King catching Babar short of the crease. Despite the setback, Shafique continued to build a strong innings, helping Pakistan take a narrow lead as West Indies fought back in the match.
