The story
At the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, West Indies finished a rain-affected opening day of the second Test against Pakistan at 239/5. Electing to bat, the hosts navigated challenging conditions, with opener Brandon King providing an aggressive start, scoring 46 runs from 50 balls.
However, Pakistan's bowlers kept chipping away. Debutant pacer Ubaid Shah claimed his maiden Test wicket by dismissing Amir Jangoo for 26, while Mohammad Ali picked up two wickets for 49 runs, including Shai Hope for 29.
Spinners Ali Usman and Sajid Khan also contributed with a wicket each. The West Indies innings was stabilised by an unbroken sixth-wicket partnership of 66 runs between Justin Greaves, who remained unbeaten on 64 off 125 balls, and captain Roston Chase, who was 36 not out. Their resilience ensured the West Indies ended the day in a competitive position despite losing five wickets.
