West Indies frustrates Pakistan bowlers with solid batting before being dismissed just before lunch.
The West Indies cricket team was bowled out for 344 on the stroke of lunch on the second day of their second Test match against Pakistan. Batting in their first innings, the home team had resumed the day on 239 for five wickets.
Captain Roston Chase and Justin Greaves extended their partnership for the sixth wicket to 96 runs before Pakistan's bowlers broke through. The total was described as creditable on a pitch already providing significant help to spin bowlers.
Justin Greaves was the top scorer, making 73 runs, while captain Roston Chase contributed a defiant 70. Their partnership was the principal resistance against the Pakistani attack.
Chase reached a half-century before being dismissed by Ubaid Shah, a fast bowler making his debut in Test cricket.
The Pakistan bowlers shared the wickets, led by off-spinner Sajid Khan, who took four wickets for 85 runs. Left-arm spinner Ali Usman, playing in only his second Test match, along with Mohammad Ali and debutant Ubaid Shah, each took two wickets.
Usman struck early with the second new ball to remove Greaves. A missed review for a leg-before-wicket decision against West Indies bowler Kemar Roach, though replays suggested the ball would have hit the stumps, was noted.
