Babar Azam run out for 88, extends century drought to 1,300 days
Summary

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.
