Younis becomes first centurion in Pak-Eng series


DUBAI: Pakistan’s veteran batsman Younis Khan scored a fine century in the second innings on third and final Test match against England here at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

He made an unbeaten 115 from 195 balls when the play ended on second day.

This was the first hundred in the current Test series as no other batsman from Pakistan and England could so far make any three-figure score.

When Younis swept Monty Panesar for two runs, he reached his 20th Test hundred from 166 balls with eleven fours and a six.

Younis has also become the fourth Pakistan batsman to score the highest number of Test hundreds after Inzamam-ul-Haq (25 centuries), Mohammad Yousuf (24) and Javed Miandad (23).

This was Younis’ second Test hundred against England in his ten Tests he played so far against them.
