Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik, playing in his first Test match in five years has scored his maiden double ton. Playing against England, in Abu Dhabi, the 33 year-old has become the sixth Pakistani cricketer to score 200.
The 248-run partnership of Malik and Asad Shafiq, who scored a ton, is the highest ever in a Pakistan vs England match for a fifth wicket. Shoaib, who's married to tennis ace Sania Mirza, has thanked his wife and called her his inspiration. Thereby winning this year's Cool Husband award.@MirzaSania thank you for all the support and undying belief - always. Wish you were here ❤️

Twitter has lost its mind over Shoaib and even exceeded expectations as people from both sides of the Indo-Pak border celebrate Shoaib's epic comeback.
Sania's performance inspired Shoaib Malik for a superb century, so we should assume that Kohli watched 'Dil Dhadkne Do' recently. #IndvsSA

Remarkable. Shoaib Malik has a maiden double hundred in Tests, five years after his last appearance. Only in Pakistan cricket. #PAKvENG

Shoaib Malik out for 245. Time for a much-deserved, and much-needed, lie-down.
