SHARJAH: Left-hander Haris Sohail knocked his maiden one-day century to guide Pakistan to 280-5 in the first day-night international against Australia in Sharjah on Friday. Haris, who reached 1,000 runs in his 27th one-day international when on 40, added 98 for the third wicket with Umar Akmal who made 50-ball 49 in his first international match for two years. Pakistan had handed one-day debuts to opener Shan Masoor and Mohammad Abbas — who have played 15 and 14 Tests respectively. Umar, who last played for Pakistan in Australia in January 2017, smashed three sixes in one Jhye Richardson over but fell one short of his half century. Wasim hit four boundaries and a six during his 13-ball unbeaten knock, helping Pakistan to 55 runs in the last five overs.
