A staggering 20 wickets fell on Day 1 of the second Test in Multan, as Pakistan were bowled out for 154 in response to West Indies’ 163, trailing by nine runs.
Pakistan’s batting faltered early, reduced to 51/4, with Kemar Roach and Gudakesh Motie dismantling the top order. Despite efforts from Mohammad Rizwan (49*) and Saud Shakeel (32), the team collapsed, losing their last six wickets for 35 runs.
