Windies eye fifth day survival after batting implodes

Shannon Gabriel

KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – West Indies’ brittle and unproven batting was brutally exposed by leg-spinner Yasir Shah, leaving the Caribbean side staring at yet another Test defeat following a chastening penultimate day of the opening Test against Pakistan here yesterday.

Trailing on first innings by 121 runs after Pakistan piled up 407 all out, West Indies were in strife at 93 for four in their second innings at the close – still requiring 28 runs to avoid an innings defeat on Tuesday’s final day at Sabina Park.
