It was an ease back innings to begin with for Younis as he achieved the figure off his 84th ball. He hopped, punched the air and after that went for a celebratory keep running towards the structure. The veteran right-hander, who had made his presentation in 2000, achieved the figure in his 208th Test innings. He paced his innings from that point to raise his 33rd Test fifty and was then in the end rejected for 58 by Shannon Gabriel.

Younis, alongside Misbah-ul-Haq, has been instrumental in making Pakistan an impressive unit in Test cricket after the spot-settling embarrassment, notwithstanding helping them scale the top spot in ICC Rankings. Prior, he had reported that the progressing three-coordinate arrangement against the West Indies will be his last.
