Pakistan vs West Indies, 2nd Test highlights: West Indies beat Pakistan by 120 runs in Multan

West Indies have won the toss and decided to bat first in Multan. The pitch conditions are favourable, with the fog from the first Test having disappeared. The pitch preparation remains the same as the first match, with visible cracks that will facilitate turn. As the match progresses, the surface will become drier, providing spinners with opportunities to exploit the angles and generate grip and turn. Batters will face a challenging task on this pitch.

Playing XIs:

West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite(c), Mikyle Louis, Amir Jangoo, Kavem Hodge, Alick Athanaze, Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach(w), Kevin Sinclair, Gudakesh Motie, Kemar Roach, Jomel Warrican

Pakistan: Shan Masood(c), Muhammad Hurraira, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Salman Agha, Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, Kashif Ali, Abrar Ahmed

Ali goes back but this skids through and hits the stumps even before the bat comes down. West Indies are making quick work of this batting line up here.

Kevin Sinclair to Saud Shakeel, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Just three balls into Day 3 and West Indies have the big wicket of Shakeel. That's a beauty of a delivery to get rid of the left hander. Slows it up. Lands it on middle and then gets it to turn away. Shakeel pushes at it with hard hands. This goes off the outside edge and the first slip fielder takes it. Massive wicket as we know how good Shakeel has been in recent times. Perfect start to the day for the visitors.

We're all set to begin! 

09:42 (IST) Jan 27

It is time for Day 3 of the second Test between Pakistan and West Indies and it is the visitors who are in the driver's seat. The hosts need over 170 runs and have lost their top order. They'll need Shakeel who has been excellent with the bat in recent times and the rest to step up if they're likely to come up on top. West Indies on the other hand, would love to continue to do what they're doing. This promises to be a cracker of a day. Stay tuned.

... DAY 3, SESSION 1 ...

17:07 (IST) Jan 26

Pakistan will need somebody to play a big innings here. They do have the firepower, they do have the quality but their batters will have to show a lot of character. West Indies on the other hand, will know if they just keep hitting the right line and lengths, wickets will come. Day 3 promises to be a very exciting one. Do join us for it. Till then, goodbye and take care!

Day 2 was all about West Indies! First they batted brilliantly, Kraigg Brathwaite was the highlight with a half ton and there were a few others who also got starts. Courtesy that, they took a big lead of over 250 and in response, despite missing Roach, they have got four important wickets. Sinclair was the star with the ball as he has two to his name. 

17:03 (IST) Jan 26

End of a brilliant day of Test cricket and it is West Indies who will be walking back with their heads held high! They have managed to get 4 big wickets and Pakistan still need another 178 runs and 178 on this wicket is a lot of runs.
