Multan Cricket Stadium: It was a topsy-turvy day of cricket in the second Test between West Indies and Pakistan at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Saturday as the visitors ended the day with a nine-run lead.

After winning the toss and opting to bat first, West Indies were put under tremendous pressure by Pakistan. Wickets of Mikyle Louis (4) and Amir Jangoo (0) fell in consecutive overs. Skipper Kraigg Brathwaite (9) and Alick Athanaze (0) fell in the ninth and 10th over respectively with the former being Norman Ali's first dismissal of the day.

The left-arm spinner became the first-ever Pakistan spinner to attain a Test hat-trick and continued his exceptional form in the 11th over of the innings, Ali enticed Justin Greaves to lunge forward, but the turn and bounce deceived him, inducing a thick edge that was safely grasped by Babar Azam at gully.
