Bracewell and Ajaz reduced Pakistan to 48 for 3 before Babar and Shakeel brought a semblance of stability to the Innings.

He was welcomed with a loud cheer from the Karachi crowd and his only scoring shot until now was a boundary down the ground off Sodhi. However, Southee returned for a second spell before lunch, tempting Shakeel to drive away from his body and earning his reward as the left-hand batter, on 22, sliced it to the gully fielder. He made the most of being dropped by first slip at 12 and, with his seventh four, brought up his half-century in 76 balls. Both batters feasted on the spinners, first off the back foot and then off the front as they grew in confidence. Pakistan went to lunch at 115 for 4 in 30 overs, with Babar's 27th half-century holding their innings together and [Sarfaraz Ahmed](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/sarfaraz-ahmed-227760)giving him company on 4. However, Imam fell for 24 off the last ball before drinks after charging down the track to loft Bracewell over his head.

[Saud Shakeel](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/saud-shakeel-652687) brought a semblance of respectability to their innings after the early jolt. The day had started with Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood stumped off Patel and Bracewell respectively - the first time the first two wickets in a men's Test were out to stumping dismissals - and Imam-ul-Haq falling trying to clear mid-off by charging down the track, all inside the first hour of the Test. They had lost their first three wickets in a bizarre manner after trying to come down the wicket to negate the turn and take the spinners on. However, the wickets never came for New Zealand, with Southee rotating his bowlers more than he did in the first session where only four overs of pace were used. Sarfaraz's innings, though, was a tad streaky, getting edges down to deep third when chasing wide deliveries from the seamers, or getting squared up by good-length deliveries that held their line. Barring the occasional ball that stayed low, Babar could trust the pitch that did not offer extravagant bounce and in Sarfaraz's company led through the second session.

The captain stood at one end but found no one to support him at the other end. Then Salman stepped on the wicket and supported Babar. The duo combined to take the team’s score to 110 when Team Southee dismissed Shakeel. He showed Abdullah Shafiq the way to the pavilion. In this match, Sarfraz Ahmed, who returned to the playing-11, also played a great innings. Pakistani captain Babar won the toss and decided to bat first.

Babar Azam enjoyed an excellent 196-run partnership with Sarfaraz Ahmed before Ajaz Patel dismissed the former captain when he edged one to Mitchell at ...

New Zealand, who abandoned their white-ball tour of Pakistan last year due to security concerns, are looking to end a run of four straight test defeats with Southee as the new captain following the six-year tenure of Kane Williamson. Babar rode his luck in a 277-ball innings which contained 15 fours and a big six to bring up his century while Agha Salman was unbeaten on three at stumps after New Zealand failed to capitalise on a strong start with the ball. Captain Babar Azam struck an unbeaten 161 as Pakistan overcame a wobbly start to score 317-5 against New Zealand on the first day of the opening Test at Karachi's National Stadium on Monday.

Brief Scores: Pakistan 317/5 in 90 overs (Babar Azam 161 not out, Sarfaraz Ahmed 86, Michael Bracewell 2/61, Ajaz Patel 2/91) against New Zealand.

Once the new ball was taken, New Zealand had a breakthrough when Sarfaraz edged Patel to first slip in the 86th over, bringing his colossal partnership with Babar to an end. From there, New Zealand were sent on a leather hunt as Babar and Sarfaraz, batting in Tests for the first time since January 2019, joined forces for a mammoth partnership. He would then walk off the field unbeaten an 161 on stumps, with Agha Salman by his side on three not out. Apart from him, a returning Sarfaraz Ahmed shined in his 50th Test appearance and first at home with a gritty 86 off 153 balls.

He made his test debut in 2010 but had never played a test match at home as there was no international cricket played in Pakistan since 2009. The only mistake the blackcaps made in the whole session was to drop the regulation chance offered by Babar Azam. The blackcap’s spinners made the most of a slightly damp surface to extract turn and bounce with the new ball but the batters made it look unplayable. A week is actually a long time in Pakistan.

Earlier, Patel and Bracewell found plenty of turn in the first hour after Southee lost the toss in his debut as New Zealand skipper. It was for the first time in men’s test history that first two batters in an innings got stumped. New Zealand came close to dismissing Sarfaraz on 26, but the batter successfully went for a TV referral after on-field umpire Aleem Dar adjudged him to be caught behind off Southee. Sarfaraz had to wait for 26 test matches before finally breaking into the test XI after Pakistan finally rested all-format regular wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan. “Babar and Sarfaraz really batted very well. “Babar made the most of his chance and batted really well,” Patel said. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. Obviously no one wants to drop catches, but it happens sometimes, it’s just the nature of the game.” “I finally got an opportunity and I hope my today’s knock will help the team,” Sarfaraz said. Pakistan batting coach Mohammad Yousuf held the previous record when he made 2,435 international runs in 2006. Later on in the day it got tougher,” Patel said.
