PAK vs AUS | CA to monitor tour situation after suicide bomb attack in Pakistan

Peshawar has suffered a terrorist suicide bomb attack that killed more than 30 people. The city is just two hours away from where Pakistan and Australia are battling it out in the first Test. 

Cricket Australia (CA) is monitoring the situation according to The Sunday Morning Herald report. The local reports suggest that around 50 were injured in the blast after the bomb was detonated in the northern city of Peshawar. 

The reports further suggest that a person ran into the mosque and detonated the bomb after the attackers opened fire on police. 

This is the first time in 24 years that Australia are touring Pakistan. The visitors have been provided with presidential-style security. 

Talking about the first Test, Pakistan had a brilliant start and were in the commanding position during the first day’s proceedings. 

Opener Imam-ul-Haq made the historic Test most special after he scored his maiden hundred in the format. Imam along with Abdullah Shafique provided the hosts with a positive start as the two stitched a stand of 105 runs for the first wicket before Shafique was out to Nathan Lyon for 44. 

Imam was then joined by Azhar Ali who also brought up his fifty.
