| | Test Match: Mahmood in record mood |
 | | Not only did local boy Azhar Mahmood make history by becoming the second Pakistani debutant in an innings to score a century, he figured in a world record-equalling last-wicket stand, opened the bowling - and then shook hands with the Queen, here on a State visit, who was presented to the teams. |
 | | Mahmood, 22, joined him with an unbeaten 128 which took 5.75 hours and was without a false stroke till he got to 94 and appeared to give a low chance to short leg off Pat Symcox. |
 | | Mahmood, played more for his bowling than his batting, came in at No 8 when Naqvi was dismissed and stayed while 250 runs were added, scoring more than half himself and reaching his first hundred in first-class cricket. |
