Sarfraz Ahmed kept Pakistan ticking towards a big first-innings total after West Indies struck two early blows on the second morning of the Abu Dhabi Test. Pakistan, 304 for 4 overnight, slipped to 342 for 6 before an unbroken 59-run seventh-wicket stand between Sarfraz and Mohammad Nawaz frustrated West Indies’ hopes of bowling them out quickly. At lunch, the busy Sarfraz was batting on 45 off 53 balls, and Nawaz on 16. In all, Pakistan scored 97 runs in the session at just over four an over.
