England found ways to take wickets and sensed a good lead despite hundreds from three Pakistan players on the third day of the opening Test in Rawalpindi Saturday.
Babar became the seventh batter to rack up a century in England s first test in Pakistan in 17 years on a wicket that has been a focal point for its run-friendly nature.
Babar was 106 not out off 132 balls for his third test ton at Pindi Cricket Stadium. It included 14 fours and a six before tea.
