Veteran Younis Khan led a Pakistan fightback after his side lost three early second-innings wickets on Day Three of the first Test against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club here yesterday.

Younis and fellow veteran, captain Misbah-ul-Haq, ground out a fourth-wicket stand of 116 after their side, who trailed by 78 runs after the first innings, slipped to 23 for three against Zimbabwe’s new ball bowlers Tinashe Panyangara and Tendai Chatara.

They will aim to take their side to a total which will give off-spinner Saeed Ajmal a chance of bowling Zimbabwe out.
