He was unbeaten at 136 with eight boundaries and a six to his name.
Cameron Bancroft, Marcus Harris, Cameron Green and captain Nathan McSweeney scored 53, 49, 46 and 40 respectively.
Khurram Shehzad, Faheem Ashraf, Abrar Ahmed and Imam-ul-Haq have taken a wicket each.
As much as the action was discussed on social media, a hilarious video of Sarfaraz Ahmed became a talking point during the proceedings.
When Khurram Shehzad bowled a bouncer to Matt Renshaw, Sarfaraz Ahmed hilariously told Saud Shakeel that the bowler remembered to bowl a short-length delivery after 45 overs in the day.
