Pakistan in West Indies 2026, WI vs PAK 2nd Test Match Report, August 02 – 06, 2026

Lunch West Indies 344 all out (Greaves 73, Chase 70, Sajid 4-85) vs Pakistan

Pakistan eventually went through the bottom-half of West Indies’ line-up, but not before the hosts got what they wanted out of it. Half-centuries from Justin Greaves and Roston Chase helped their side add 105 runs to their overnight score, getting up to 344 in an extended session before Pakistan finally wrapped up the lower order. Sajid Khan took the last three to finish atop with four wickets and three bowlers finished with two-fors, but West Indies have notched up the highest total of the series so far.

Mohammad Ali started errantly and Chase punished him with a pair of boundaries in the second over. But when Babar Azam took the new ball and handed it to left arm spinner Ali Usman, he struck with his first ball as Greaves’ leading edge found Awais Zafar at short third. Kemar Roach battled as Chase continued to chip away in a continuing trend where every partnership in the innings bar one ended up reaching double figures.

Ubaid Shah, who had been held back with the new ball, struck with his first delivery of the day, a lovely cross-seam ball that flicked the top of Chase’s middle stump off the pad. For once, Shamar Joseph’s adventurism did not amount to much as Sajid cleanup him up, but Pakistan continued to sustain damage on their way to inevitably polishing West Indies off.

Azan Awais was struck hard on the shoulder fielding at short leg and went off, while Roach and Jayden Seales held Pakistan at bay as lunch approached, adding a further 18 before Sajid’s extra bounce did for Seales, and left Pakistan’s batters with plenty to do in the remaining two sessions.
