2. PAKISTAN VS WEST INDIES 1ST
TEST DAY 2 HIGHLIGHTS 14-10-2016

3. Resuming the day on 146, Azhar was solid and assured right
from the outset and displayed more of the lovely drives and
powerful cuts and pulls that lit up the first day. He went into
tea at 194, but got to his milestone within two balls of the
resumption of play – a leg-side delivery from Gabriel was
tucked fine for four, after which a wide one was cut past
backward square for the four that took him past 200. A
salute and a set of nine push-ups followed; by that stage,
West Indies’ fielders looked too ragged to follow suit
Azhar and Shafiq had added 73 runs to the overnight total of
279 for 1, taking their second-wicket partnership to 137. The
pair built on their solid platform with relative ease, facing
little pressure either from West Indies’ bowlers or from a
pink ball that did not do much in the air. While Shafiq played
the odd false shot, including a full-blooded sweep that failed
to make contact with a flighted delivery from Devendra
Bishoo, Azhar looked compact and sharp, quick to pounce on
width and short balls. He greeted Roston Chase with
successive lofted shots for four and six, and also played a
number of assured sweep shots against both spinners.

4.  The partnership ended when Shafiq drilled a return catch
to Devendra Bishoo on 67. That moment of success
provided only fleeting relief for an increasingly deflated
West Indies side. Azam came in and settled in swiftly to
provide capable support to Azhar. He glided his way to a
half-century that seemed to come far too easily, before
driving in the air straight to cover to give West Indies only
their second breakthrough of the day.
 West Indies had their moments, but were not able to
capitalise on them. Bishoo had dropped short frequently in
the first session. Immediately after dismissing Shafiq, his
bowling perked up – temporarily. He beat Azam with a
beautifully flighted ball and found the batsman’s outside
edge in the next over, only for the ball to fly to the right of
slip. Frustratingly, he dropped short again the next ball
and was cut for another boundary. A few overs later, Chase
got Azhar to nick to slip, where Jermaine Blackwood
spilled a sharp chance that should have been taken.

5.  Like on the first day, west indies misused their reviews.
Shannon gabriel clocked up impressive speeds in the
first over of the day. His fifth ball, bowled at 147 kph,
seamed into shafiq and clipped the top of his back pad
on its way through to the wicketkeeper. The appeal,
seemingly for a caught behind, was turned down, but
replays indicated the ball would have gone on to hit
enough of the top of middle for the batsman to be given
lbw, if a review had been taken
 When west indies did opt for a review – on the last ball
of the 131st over – they were left red-faced and wishing
they hadn’t. Jason holder bowled an indipping low full
toss at azhar, went up in appeal for lbw and reviewed
the not-out decision, evidently believing that the ball
had brushed pad before bat. Replays, however, showed
that the ball was nowhere near the pad and had been
middled by azhar.

6. These errors paled in comparison with West
Indies’ shoddy bowling and often-farcical
fielding. Bishoo and Miguel Cummins
released the early pressure that Gabriel and
Holder had created. While Bishoo bowled a
number of short balls and juicy half-volleys,
Cummins repeatedly drifted onto the
batsmen’s pads. Gabriel struggled to find
his line or length in a terrible spell after tea
and bowled three big no-balls, and at least
three more that were not called.
