Shan Masood's unbeaten 88 and Imam-ul-Haq's 63 powered Pakistan to 199 for three against the West Indies on the second day of the first Test in Trinidad. The visitors responded strongly to the West Indies' first innings total of 311, with Masood and Imam forming a 155-run partnership. Despite losing two wickets in the final session, Pakistan ended the day in a strong position.

Masood's Resilient Innings

Masood, removed as captain after a series loss in Bangladesh, showcased resilience and attractive batting. His innings included 11 fours off 137 deliveries, helping Pakistan recover from an early wicket. The partnership with Imam-ul-Haq was crucial, with the pair batting aggressively against the West Indies' inconsistent bowling.

West Indies Struggle

The West Indies struggled to maintain momentum after starting the day well. Their total of 311 included significant contributions from Shai Hope (92) and Kavem Hodge (84). However, the loss of quick wickets in the morning session and towards the end of the day undermined their efforts. Mohammad Ali's four-wicket haul was a bright spot for Pakistan.

Day Three Awaits

With Pakistan ending the day at 199 for three, the match remains evenly poised. Masood and Agha will resume batting on day three, aiming to build on their strong position. The West Indies will look to their bowlers to make early breakthroughs and regain control of the Test.
