Pakistan managed to put 268/4 on Day 1 of the second Test in Harare. Batting first after winning the toss, the visitors lost Imran Butt for 2 but Abid Ali and Azhar Ali played cautiously and stitched a 236-run stand to get the side back on track.
While Abid remained unbeaten at 118, Azhar departed for 126 off Blessing Muzarabani. The right-arm bowler then picked up a couple of more wickets that included the scalps of captain Babar Azam and in-form batsman Fawad Alam in quick succession to reduce Pakistan to 264/4.
Muzarabani eventually returned with figures of 3/41 in 19 overs while Richard Ngarava picked up a wicket as well before the stumps were called.
Earlier, in the day Tabish Khan made his Test debut for Pakistan at the age of 36. Known for his consistency, Tabish has scalped 598 First-Class wickets so far.
"I cannot express my happiness in words for my Test debut. Every kid who starts playing cricket in Pakistan has a dream of representing the country, especially in Test format and it's been a long journey for me but I have achieved my dream today," Tabish said earlier in a video released by PCB.
"I will try my level best to meet everyone's expectations and give my 110% for the crest on my chest."
Pakistan lead the two-match series 1-0 after they thumped Zimbabwe by an innings and 116 runs in the first fixture. They had also won the three-match T20I series 2-1.
