A slow but steady hundred from Azhar Ali and Misbah-ul-Haq’s 99 ensured Pakistan tightened their grip over the Bridgetown Test. After they secured a lead of 81 in response to West Indies’ 312 on a deteriorating pitch, fast bowler Mohammad Abbas struck with the new ball to have Kieran Powell edging behind. West Indies, ultimately, ended the day 41 runs behind.
The hosts had built up some momentum just before tea when they claimed three wickets for 13 runs but they squandered it, allowing Pakistan’s tailenders to make sizeable contributions in a game where batting in the second innings is expected to get significantly harder.
