Hope Carries West Indies to 303-7 at Lunch Against Pakistan in First Test

Hope was 89 not out after a 91-run stand with Kavem Hodge, and West Indies fought back after Pakistan struck early with the new ball.

  • West Indies holds a 29-run first-innings advantage after Pakistan collapsed to 282 all out on the third day. Pakistan fell from a dominant 244-3, losing seven wickets for 38 runs.
  • Justin Greaves, West Indies seamer, engineered the collapse with career-best Test figures of five for 27. His controlled bowling scythed through Pakistan's middle and lower order.
  • Kavem Hodge and Shai Hope revived the West Indies innings with a 91-run fourth-wicket stand. Shamar Joseph smashed an unbeaten 22 to bolster the lead.
  • Pakistan bowling coach Umar Gul said, "We didn't execute our plans the way we should have." He praised Mohammad Abbas for leading the attack and assisting younger bowlers.
  • With the match heading toward a decisive fourth day, veteran pacer Kemar Roach and Joseph provided crucial resistance against the second new ball. The contest remains tightly poised in Tarouba.
