Shafique breaks 49-year drought as Pakistan take control | ICC World Test Championship


It was only Jomel Warrican (6/112) that kept the West Indies in the hunt, with Shafique looking at ease as he hit 15 fours and three sixes during his knock as Pakistan attempt to claim the second Test and level the two-match series after a 90-run defeat in the opening fixture.

The absence of Brandon King due to a back complaint didn’t help the West Indies’ cause in the second innings, with the right-hander unable to bat and the side unsure whether the opener will be fit to feature on the crucial fourth day at Port of Spain.

“Following initial medical assessments, Brandon King is experiencing lower back muscle spasms,” the West Indies confirmed via a statement.

“He is currently being monitored and evaluated by the team’s medical staff. As a precaution, the batter will not return to the field for the remainder of today’s play.”
