Day five report


Shannon Gabriel claimed five wickets as West Indies dismissed Pakistan for 81 in their second innings to record a 106-run victory in the second Test at the Kensington Oval and level the series at 1-1.

Sarfraz Ahmed top-scored for the tourists with 23 as just four players reached double figures in an innings to forget. Gabriel finished with five for 11 - to add to his four from the first innings - with Jason Holder claiming three for 23.

Azhar Ali (10) was the first to fall to Gabriel with just 10 runs on the board and his replacement Babar Azam fell for a duck to Alzarri Joseph in the next over.

Younis Khan managed to reach five before Holder removed him lbw, while Gabriel struck twice in three balls to see off Misbah-ul-Haq and Asad Shafiq to leave Pakistan struggling on 30 for five.

The wickets continued to tumble as opener Ahmed Shehzad (14) was next to go to Joseph in the second over after lunch and team-mate Shadab Khan was comfortably caught behind by wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich off Holder with the tourists 36 for seven.

Sarfraz and Mohammad Amir tried to rebuild and managed to share an eighth-wicket stand of 42 before the latter became Gabriel's fourth victim for 20 runs. Yasir Shah came and went for a duck as Gabriel claimed his five-for by taking out the off-stump, while Sarfraz fell in the next over to Holder.

Starting the day on 264 for nine, the hosts lost Devendra Bishoo (20) just four runs and five balls later as he became Yasir's seventh victim of the innings and ninth of the match.

The third and final Test starts on May 10.

Day four report


Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah put the skids under West Indies in the closing stages of day four of the second Test at Bridgetown.

The hosts, who lost the opening match of the series by seven wickets at Kingston, have a lead of 183 runs going into the final day after closing on 264 for nine in their second innings.

Shah claimed Shane Dowrich (two), Jason Holder (one) and Alzarri Joseph (seven) in the day's final session, taking his tally to six wickets for 90 runs in the hosts' second innings. He also took two in the first innings.

Earlier, Shai Hope had led the home effort with 90, including a six and eight fours, after they resumed on 40 for one.

However, the 23-year-old's stint ended when he was caught by Azhar Ali off the bowling of Shah, who also claimed the wickets of opener Kraigg Brathwaite (43) and Roston Chase (23).

Vishaul Singh (32) and Shimron Hetmyer (22) also made reasonable contributions with the bat for West Indies - however, the hosts will need an impressive effort on the final day to square the series.

Day three report


Misbah-ul-Haq scored 99 for the second game running as Pakistan's first-innings 393 earned them a lead over West Indies in the second Test.

Misbah, stranded one short of an 11th Test century in last month's opener, fell on 99 after Azhar Ali (105) had got to three figures shortly after lunch on day three in Bridgetown.

Kieran Powell was the one West Indies batsman to fall before stumps, caught at the wicket off Mohammad Abbas as his side closed on 40-1 to trail by 41.

Pakistan began the day in Bridgetown on 172-3, 140 short of their hosts' first-innings total, and it took Azhar more than a session to take his overnight 81 past the century mark.

Devendra Bishoo had him caught at the wicket shortly afterwards, but by that stage Misbah had progressed to a half-century at the other end.

The Pakistan captain had helped take his side to 316-4 when he withdrew his bat too late to a Jason Holder delivery and looped a catch to the slips.

Two more wickets went to Holder (3-42) as Pakistan lost their last six for 77 runs, Yasir Shah's lively 24 boosting the total late on.

Victory in Barbados would give Pakistan a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Day two report


A 155-run opening partnership between Azhar Ali and Ahmed Shehzad saw Pakistan edge the second day of the second Test against West Indies.

The hosts took three wickets for just six runs late in the day in Bridgetown, but their lead is just 140 thanks to the work of Ali, who remains unbeaten on 81, and Shehzad, who scored 70.

The Windies had lost their final four wickets for just 26 runs, with overnight centurion Roston Chase unable to add to his 131, and they were all out for 312, with the tourists' reply at 172 for three by stumps.

Chase and captain Jason Holder returned for the second morning looking to build on their 132-run alliance yet nothing had been added to the total by the time the latter nicked Mohammad Abbas' third ball of the day behind.

Chase followed in the next over by edging Mohammad Amir to second slip and the final two wickets of Devendra Bishoo (14) and Alzarri Joseph (eight) ensured Pakistan were batting by 11am.

Neither Ali nor Shehzad were able to score more than 31 across either of the two innings in the first Test and neither was in full flow when at the crease this time around.

Shehzad was dropped on three and then survived an lbw shout on 21 and a stumping on 32 because both came via no-ball deliveries before a tea interval that Pakistan entered on 106 without loss.

Shehzad's luck eventually ran out when he was snared at slip off the bowling of Bishoo, Babar Azam exited three balls later without scoring when caught and bowled by Shannon Gabriel and Younis Khan had failed to score too when Bishoo coaxed him into picking out Gabriel at short midwicket.

Ali and the vastly-experienced Misbah-ul-Haq saw out the final nine overs and West Indies still have plenty of work to do.

Second Test: Day one scores (Kensington Oval)


West Indies first inns: 286-6 (Chase 131 no, Holder 58 no; Abbas 2-47, Amir 2-52)

Day one report


Roston Chase hit his second Test century as West Indies recovered on an even opening day of the second Test against Pakistan in Bridgetown.

Chase shared an unbeaten 132-run partnership for the seventh wicket with captain Jason Holder to help the hosts reach 286 for six at the close, having been 107 for five earlier in the day.

After Holder won the toss and elected to bat first, the visitors made early inroads with the new ball as Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Abbas took an early wicket apiece.

Shai Hope fell to Yasir Shah before Kieran Powell (38) was trapped in front by a big inswinger from Amir, and Abbas returned to the attack to have Vishaul Singh well caught at slip for just three.

Shane Dowrich started the revival with a useful knock of 29 before falling to teenage legspinning-debutant Shadab Khan, but Holder (58 not out) and Chase (131 not out) saw the Windies through to the close.

The hosts are looking to level the three-match series at 1-1 having lost the opener by seven wickets at Kingston.
