O’Brien scores Ireland’s first Test hundred

Dublin, AFP: Kevin O’Brien scored Ireland’s first Test hundred when he reached three figures against Pakistan on the fourth day of their inaugural match at this level at Malahide, yesterday. 

Two runs off left-arm quick bowler Mohammad Amir saw O’Brien to his hundred in 186 balls, including 10 fours. 

It was the 34-year-old O’Brien’s first century for Ireland since he made the fastest-ever World Cup hundred by any batsman, off 50 balls, against England at Bangalore in 2011.
