The right-handed batsman reached the feat in his 39th innings – the joint-fastest to the mark with India skipper Virat Kohli and Australia captain Aaron Finch.
England skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and asked visitors to bat first. Pakistan openers Fakhar Zaman and Azam had a decent start of the game. The duo had a 72-run stand for the first wicket.
Zaman was picked by spinner Adil Rashid in the ninth over. He played a knock of 36 runs.
Mohammad Hafeez joined Azam in the middle and stitched a partnership of 40-run. In the 13th over, Rashid sent Azam back to the pavilion as he was caught by Sam Billings at deep midwicket. He amassed 56 runs off 44 balls including seven fours.
