ROSEAU, Dominica (AP) Pakistan reached a solid 70-1 at lunch on the opening day of the decisive third test against West Indies on Wednesday.
With the three-match series level at 1-1, the hosts won the toss and elected to field – a decision that soon looked to have paid off when Shan Masood was caught by Jason Holder at second slip off a Roston Chase delivery for nine.
But with Pakistan left on 19-1 in the 13th over, fellow opener Azhar Ali and Babar Azam steadied the tourists’ nerves.
Ali was on 36 after hitting a couple of sixes and two fours, with Azam on 24 after two boundaries, at the interval.
