Pakistan Vs West Indies, 2nd Test: Visitors' Spinners Put PAK Batters In Fix On Day 2

West Indies stayed in the hunt for their first Test win in Pakistan in 35 years after their batters came good on a turning wicket to set up a tricky target of 254 runs in the second Test on Sunday (January 26, 2025). Pakistan's top-order stuttered for the second successive time on its own engineered spin wicket and limped to 76-4 at stumps on Day 2 in Multan. Saud Shakeel was not out on 13 and nightwatchman Kashif Ali was unbeaten on 1, with Pakistan still needing a further 178 runs for an increasingly improbable victory on a turning pitch.
