Manchester, Aug 6: Former England captain Nasser Hussain has demanded more respect for Babar Azam after the Pakistan Test vice-captain put on a fine show with the bat on the first day of first Test against England at the Old Trafford.

Following the dismissals of Abid Ali and Azhar Ali, Babar put on an unbeaten 96-run partnership with Shan Masood to help the visitors end the rain-marred opening day at 139/2 on Wednesday.
