Kingston: Half Century Unbeaten Babar Azam maintained his team’s hopes of living to set a competitive target for West Indies in the last round of the contest with Pakistan reaching 160 for five in their second round near the third day affected by the rain of the first test in Sabina Park on the day Saturday.
After participating in the first innings with 36 Run, tourists will start the fourth day at 124 with Azam on 54 and Faheem Ashraf at 12, a couple who has 39 so far for the sixth goal.
Pakistani captain is almost right to replicate the prudence and determination of his opponent’s number, Kraigg Brathwaite the previous day.
He limited his punch which usually went smoothly to the minimum barest in almost four hours in the fold where he faced 139 balls and reached seven four.
Ashraf was alert to be alert but West Indies only had themselves to be blamed for him to be folded when Jermaine Blackwood floored the chance directly in the third pace of Medium Mayers Kyle shortly after left hand arrived in the fold.
He came to the middle after the death of Mohammad Rizwan at 121 for five years at the beginning of the last extended session after a disturbed half-afternoon bath.
Azam and Rizwan have been wearing 56 for the fifth goal but when the Wicketkeeper-Batsman fell to Jason’s holder for 30, Pakistan was in the danger of the capitulation before the match played.
While the fear was avoided, it seemed to be a different possibility when they were reduced to 65 for lunch because the West Indies opening Bowler again made the initial breakthrough against batting arrangements suspected when the situation appeared in the afternoon the visitors on their independence day, Shaheen Shah Afridi has got them at the perfect start in the morning by taking the last two Wickets Hindets last round to stop the home side for 253.
But that the satisfaction was immediately tainted by yesterday Roach, who left visitors more than a little discomfort with the net in each His two spells before lunch.
Once again showed the value of his experience and accuracy, the Barbadian trapped Imran’s ass – before without scoring.
After standing 55-run which was increasingly promising between the opening, Abid Ali, and former captain of Azhar Ali, Roach produced sharply from the cutter to Azhar who cut the right hand stump when he was involved too far across the fold.
While Azhar’s reaction to the dismissal suggested that the ball remain lower than he expected, it was only a gift for surviving cockroaches who had previously seen a pair of hands Jason holders who usually shed the same regulation from the same batsman.
.
The holder was marked for a surprising hose when he gave Jayden to seal his first goal from the innings through Abid Ali who was highly cut to the right of the high allround on the second slip.
There was even greater jubiliation in the West Indies camp three balls later when first inning Top-Scorer Fawad nature relieved the delivery of other seals to Wicketkeeper Joshua da Silva before he scored.
At that stage Pakistan has lost three nine goals on both sides of the lunch interval and desperately in need of stability, which Babar together with Rizwan and then Ashraf is provided.
“I definitely enjoy bowling on this surface.
This is just about staying patient maybe and doing the same things we did before inning when we got the goal,” Seales said.
“Targets anywhere around the 170-200 region must give us a good opportunity.” Pakistan will definitely consider themselves to have a better chance of victory than – even if their captain and the remaining low sequence raised the advantage closer to the 200-run mark on the surface that continues to examine the techniques and durability of all batsmen.
