Azan Awais scores 46 on Test debut at Lord's six days after first-ball dismissal at Headingley

Pakistan opener Azan Awais scored 46 on Test debut at Lord's on 28 August 2026, six days after becoming the first Pakistan player in 43 years dismissed off the opening ball of a Test series at Headingley. He survived 44 balls in the first 15 overs for five scoring shots, then added 38 off his next 58 before top-edging a pull to deep square leg. With Imam-ul-Haq sidelined by a calf strain, Awais anchored eight of Pakistan's nine partnerships.
