Azam struck a fine half-century, his 22nd in Tests, before he was bowled by spinner Prabhath Jayasuriya for 55 off 104 balls.
Now in his 73 Test innings, he has scored a total of 3,025 runs at an average of 47.26. He has 7 centuries and 22 half-centuries in the longest format of the game. Coming to the match. Pakistan has been set a target of 342 runs to win the match. The visitors are well on course to do so as they finished Day four at 222/3, with Mohammad Rizwan 7* and Abdullah Shafique 112* unbeaten at the crease.

In his 41 match Test career so far he has scored 6 Test hundreds but some may question his conversion rate. However, his limited overs numbers remain impeccable and there's no reason why he cannot replicate the sort of conversion boom Joe Root has encountered in the last year and a half.
