Pakistan captain, Babar Azam notched up a half century as his side ended their first warm up match at the National Stadium, Providence yesterday.

With a full day’s play ahead of the two-Test series versus West Indies in Jamaica, Azam continued his purple patch, spending almost two hours in the middle after Pakistan decided to start over their innings, closing day two on 211 for seven after 80 overs.
