Openers put on 100 runs
NZPA-Reuter Pakistan The openers, Aamer Malik, and Rameez Raja, shared
their second consecutive century partnership as Pakistan responded strongly to India’s first innings of 509 in the third cricket test yesterday. Aamer, who hit an unbeaten 60, and Rameez, with 63, put on 100 to spur Pakistan to 159 for one when fading light ended play a few minutes early on the third day.
Pakistan’s first target when play resumes tomorrow will be to make a further 151 to avoid the follow on — a task that should pose few problems on a blameless pitch.
The batting of the Pakistanis, who were held to a draw in each of the first two tests of the four-match series, set the seal on an excellent day for Imran Khan’s team, who had swiftly wrapped up India’s innings in the morning.
