Captain Kraigg Brathwaite was run out for 97 after a 96-run partnership with former captain Jason Holder which helped guide the West Indies to a first-innings lead over Pakistan on the second day of the first Test.

Holder was out for 58.

On Saturday, West Indies were all out for 253, a lead of 36 runs. Joshua da Silva was the last man dismissed for 21. Pakistan went into lunch at 56/2 in their second innings. Kemar Roach took both the wickets.

On Friday, the West Indies were 251/8, when stumps were drawn early due to bad light.

Brathwaite turned a ball to fine leg and was attempting a second run when he was beaten by Hasan Ali’s direct hit at the keeper’s end, falling just short of a 10th Test century. The West Indies were 221/7 when his wicket fell on Friday, already ahead of Pakistan’s first innings of 217.

The Windies had been in trouble when they lost Kieran Powell and Nkrumah Bonner to consecutive deliveries from Mohammad Abbas on Day I.

“The key was to be tight,” Brathwaite said. “They were really testing our patience and while we committed to putting away the bad balls, it was about letting them come to us.

“We stayed in that bubble for long periods and it helped us. I’ve played a lot of cricket with Jason. We just kept encouraging ourselves and we just stuck at it.”

Brief scores: Pakistan 217 & 56/2. West Indies 253 (K Brathwaite 97, Jason Holder 58; Shaheen Afridi 4/59, Md Abbas 3/43).
