Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam Lead Pakistan's Fightback in 2nd Test vs West Indies
In the second Test against the West Indies in Trinidad, Pakistan's Abdullah Shafique scored an unbeaten 107 and captain Babar Azam reached 86 as they built an unbroken 168-run partnership. Shafique, an emergency replacement, was recalled after Shan Masood's injury and batted confidently at number three. Pakistan reached 266-2 in response to West Indies' 344 on day two, overcoming earlier batting struggles from the first Test. The partnership benefited from favorable conditions and challenges faced by the West Indies bowling attack.
