Awais went on to bring up his century, becoming just the third Pakistani batter to score a debut hundred away from home, following in the footsteps of Fawad Alam and Umar Akmal. Overall, Azan Awais became the 14th Pakistani player to score a century on Test debut.
The pair of Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal stitched together a 104-run partnership before Bangladesh struck back. Taskin Ahmed dismissed Awais to open the door for Bangladesh, who picked up four wickets in the span of nine overs.
