Well, fans, this was quite a day, one that many of you are unlikely to forget. It was my pleasure, alongside Fidel's, to bring the action to you. And as we sign off, worth remembering that sometimes, no matter how unlikely it seems, cricketers can make comebacks, and kings can return. Take care!
"It's a complete batting performance from us. We had three very good partnerships. When you're chasing 280-odd, we need partnerships and we did that very well. It was a 320-330 wicket for us so I was very happy to keep them to 290." He thanks the crowd and hopes they turn up again on Sunday.
Charith Asalanka bemoans a lack of runs from the top and middle order, as well as the missed chances in the field. "A lot of wides and extras in the first two overs. It's really hard to come back on these wickets. After 10-15 overs, dew came and things got harder."
"I had been waiting for this like the fans," he says. "I kept the belief up. I got starts in a few games against South Africa too, but you only get what you wished when God wants you to. I was trying to spend as much time at the crease."
Talha: "Thankyou danyal for that lovely commentary on 47.1, literally got emotional reading that. screenshot is saved and it's already on my WhatsApp story " Awww, that's lovely. Thanks Talha and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
He equals Saeed Anwar's record of 20 ODI centuries. Says it's an honour for him.
Babar Azam is, indeed the Player of the Match. He'll get the trophy and then have a chat with Urooj.
We've got some awards to be handed out. Babar Azam's just received the batter of the match award. I'm guessing he'll also win the Player of the Match - we'll confirm that for you shortly.
We've received a lot of comments. Babar is, by far, the most popular cricketer in Pakistan, and there have been people who've been hurting deeply over the past two years. There will be time for caveats, and assessments, and reappraisals. Today is not that time. Today is your time to enjoy what you saw, and to remember why you follow this, or any sport. So make sure you really, truly enjoy it,
Tahir: "@Daniyal.. that commentary at 47.1, loved it. Hit my heart. Emotional like every Baber Fan. Taking screenshot and saving it"
aliayyaz: "RizBar.. a love story as good as MisYou (Misbah and Younis) from a decade ago"
Mir Zaafir Nawa: "Very glad babar is back with a roar , loved watching the game , this is the pct we know , pure cricket and lovely season . Thanks ESPNcricinfo for lovely coverage"
Ali Hasni : "Sorry all those saying Babar cannot score century, cannot play match winning innings and cannot finish the game. The King has replied them all in one innings"
