Alam smashed a ton in Sri Lanka in 2009 but was discarded after only two more Tests and then had to wait for more than a decade for his next Test, in England last year.
Meanwhile, Fawad’s unbeaten 108, along with opener Imran Butt’s painstaking 91 earlier in the day, guided Shaheens to 374-6 at the close, giving them a lead of 198 over Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club.
