Instead, the visitors put that woeful performance behind them and racked up 348 runs for eight wickets, delighting their cheering fans in the stands with 29 fours and six sixes. Mohammad Hafeez was his side’s top scorer with 84 off 62 balls, while Babar Azam made 63 and captain Sarfaraz Ahmed belted a quickfire 55. Root hit 10 fours and one six on his way to 107 before scooping an easy catch off Khan to Hafeez at third man. Buttler smashed a four to notch up his own hundred a few overs later, only to fall to the very next ball. As the balls-remaining count dwindled, Moeen and Woakes swung valiantly at everything they could.
