Younus Khan scores brilliant 100 in Dubai Test to rescue Pakistan

DUBAI: Pakistan seasoned batsman Younus Khan scored a brilliant first ever 100 against Australia in the first test of the two match series at Dubai Stadium to anchor Pakistan past 200 for the loss of three wickets in the last session after Pakistan was reduced to 7 for 2 in the morning session.

The stylish batsman complete his maiden 100 against Australia with a towering six. Earlier Younis Khan and Azhar Ali established a bridgehead for Pakistan before Australia’s spearhead Mitchell Johnson struck late in the afternoon session on day one of the Test series in Dubai.

Johnson and Peter Siddle had each grabbed a wicket with the new ball to reduce Pakistan to 7 for 2, but were then held up for more than three hours and 108 runs by Younis and Azhar. It was not until near the tea break that Azhar pushed Johnson to short cover.

Australia’s bowlers toiled without reward for much of the afternoon, leaving Younis and the captain Misbah-ul-Haq to push Pakistan’s total beyond 200 in the evening. The pitch is the same strip used for the earlier ODI and Twenty20 fixtures, and is already dusting up considerably. It will become increasingly difficult to bat on.
