Pakistan captain Babar Azam was run out for 88 runs on day three of the second Test against the West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval. His dismissal came after a mix-up with teammate Abdullah Shafique, who reached his century while Babar fell short of his own, extending his wait for a Test hundred to nearly four years. This run out marked Babar's eighth dismissal of this kind in his Test career, placing him joint-second for most run-outs among Pakistan batters. His last century dates back to December 2022 against New Zealand.
