Pakistan and West Indies Locked in Tense Second Test Battle in Multan

Historic performances and dramatic collapses define a spin-dominated match as Pakistan chases 254 to seal the series.

Pakistan spinner Noman Ali made history on Day 1 by becoming the first Pakistani spinner to take a Test hat-trick, claiming 6-41 as West Indies were bowled out for 163 in their first innings.
West Indies' lower-order batters staged a remarkable fightback in their first innings, with Gudakesh Motie scoring 55 and contributing to a record-setting effort by the last three batters.
On Day 2, Kraigg Brathwaite's counterattacking half-century helped West Indies set a second-innings target of 254 for Pakistan, despite a mid-innings collapse triggered by Pakistan's spinners.
At stumps on Day 2, Pakistan was struggling at 76-4 in their chase, with Saud Shakeel and nightwatchman Kashif Ali at the crease, needing 178 more runs to win.
A lighthearted moment during the match saw Pakistan's Sajid Khan use John Cena's iconic 'you can't see me' gesture to sledge Jomel Warrican, highlighting the intensity and humor in the contest.
