"Firstly with the bat, I was trying to be patient and looked to score when the bad ball presented itself. We've worked on spin, we do use a lot of spin back home and I think I'm capable enough to bat against the spinners.

"We knew it was a difficult wicket to bat, once we got it at the right area, it was difficult for the batters. I have been working with the analysts, they've put in the work and I was able to hit the areas.

"Whenever you put pace on the ball, it would slide on and make it easier to score, so you needed to vary the pace and bowl slower."

Noman Ali was the first Pakistan spinner to take a hat-trick on Day 1 that saw 20 wickets fall. With the hosts trailing by nine runs, can he put on yet another magical spell on a dry looking Multan surface?

The cracks are slowly starting to open up, and if the ball does bounce around those cracks, uneven bounce could come into the picture. In those 20 wickets on Day 1, many fell to deliveries that were fuller and around the 78kph mark. How many wickets will fall on Day 2?

 And we are underway!! West Indies openers Mikyle Louis and Kraigg Brathwaite are out there in the middle. Will they put on a better showing than what they did yesterday? Pakistan, as expected, start with spin. Sajid Khan bowls with a slip, leg slip and a FSL in place.

West Indies are off to a fantastic start on Day 2 with the surface playing tricks. Both openers are showcasing quite a bit of intent and have scored 27/0 in the first six overs. Pakistan have been a little impatient trying to overdo things while they search for wickets.

Frustrating signs this for Pakistan. West Indies have managed to score 46 without losing a wicket in the first 10 overs of play, and the lead now has gone over 50. With the cracks opening up, Pakistan will need to get wickets, and wickets quick to get back into the game.

Pakistan finally have their crucial, much-needed breakthrough as Noman Ali gets rid of Louis for 7. Amir Jangroo joins his skipper Brathwaite in the middle as the hosts look to pick a few more wickets, with close in fields.

West Indies effectively at 88 for 1, and are in a really good position considering the surface. The option to have opted for the heavy roller seems to have done its work in the morning on Day 2. Pakistan are now under pressure and have quite a bit of work to be done.

Noman Ali has his second, and so does Pakistan. Yet another crucial breakthrough and just when they seemed a little desperate. The West Indies lead, however, has gone past 100.

Now Sajid Khan has his first breakthrough. West Indies are three down, having scored 108. But with the lead, they are effectively 117 runs. Pakistan desperate for wickets as anything above 200 could be a tough, tough chase.

At lunch on Day 2, West Indies are 129/5, leading Pakistan by 138 runs. Noman Ali has taken four of the five wickets, including Alick Athanaze, who was dismissed LBW just before the break.

Justin Greaves (5) and the overnight batter are at the crease as West Indies look to build their lead further.

After the loss of Alick Athanaze (6), Justin Greaves (6) and Tevin Imlach (2) are at the crease. Pakistan, led by Noman Ali라이브 바카라 four-wicket haul, are in need of quick breakthroughs to prevent a daunting fourth-innings chase.

West Indies lead Pakistan by 189 runs, with a score of 180/6 after 50 overs.

Kevin Sinclair (20) and Tevin Imlach (26) are at the crease, with the partnership at 35 runs from 65 balls.

PAK spinners Sajid Khan (1/49) and Abrar Ahmed (1/36), keep things tight, but the West Indies batters have managed to score at a steady rate.

Meanwhile, Abrar Ahmed provides the breakthrough, dismissing Justin Greaves for 10.

The visitors now have a healthy lead of 225 runs. Gudakesh Motie (13 off 13) and Jomel Warrican (2 off 3) are at the crease, showing resilience in the lower order.

Tevin Imlach's valuable knock of 35 runs came to an end after Kashif Ali trapped him LBW with a brilliant delivery.

Pakistan's bowlers are striving to wrap up the innings quickly. However, the partnership between Motie and Warrican is proving to be an added frustration.

WI: 216/8 (57.2)

The West Indies have finally set Pakistan a challenging target of 251 after posting 244 in their second innings.

Despite a spirited fight from their tail, Pakistan라이브 바카라 bowlers, led by Noman Ali (4/80) and Sajid Khan (4/55), managed to limit the West Indies to a an achieveable target.

Pakistan lose Shan Masood early, trapped LBW by Kevin Sinclair for 2, leaving them at 3/1 in the first over.

Muhammad Hurraira (1) and Masood라이브 바카라 early dismissal mean Pakistan will need 248 runs more to win. With 21.5 overs remaining in the day, Pakistan face a tough task on a pitch that's offering low bounce and turning sharply.

Pakistan are currently 71/4 after 21.3 overs, needing 183 more runs to win against West Indies.

The chase has been a tough one, with Pakistan still trailing after the fall of key wickets.

Babar Azam was dismissed for 31, caught by Athanaze off Kevin Sinclair, just moments before the end of Day 2.

Saud Shakeel (9) and Kashif Ali (0) are at the crease, trying to stabilize the innings.

At the close of Day 2, Pakistan are 76/4 in their chase of 254, requiring 178 more runs for victory.

West Indies started the day with a strong 244 in their second innings, thanks to contributions from their tailenders. Kevin Sinclair (31) and Gudakesh Motie (18) helped push the lead beyond 250, but Pakistan's spinners, Nauman Ali (4/35) and Sajid Khan (4/55), continued to make inroads, keeping West Indies' total under control.

At stumps, Saud Shakeel (13) and Kashif Ali (1) remain at the crease, with Pakistan still needing 178 runs to win on the final day. The West Indies bowlers, especially Jomel Warrican (1/20) and Kevin Sinclair (2/41), have been a handful, and Pakistan's middle order will need to show resilience to complete the chase.

Day 3 promises to be a thrilling day!

WI: 163 & 244

PAK: 154 & 76/4 (24)
