Misbah came in to bat at No.5 after the loss of three Pakistani wickets

But the skipper did not take time to settle down and reached his half-century steadily

He not just steadied the Pakistani ship but also closed in on another century

The 42-year-old became the sixth oldest player in Test cricket to score a century

His unbeaten knock of 110 was his maiden hundred at the revered Lord's Cricket Ground

Misbah said his knock was one of the best innings of his entire career

Pakistan will be relying quite heavily on their skipper if they are looking to upset England in the 4-Test series
