Half-centuries from Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan revived Pakistan to 143-4 after top-order batters stumbled in the first cricket test against West Indies.

In a dramatic day of cricket in Multan, Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan delivered stellar performances to pull Pakistan out of deep waters after an early collapse orchestrated by West Indies pacer Jayden Seales.

Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan struck four times to leave the West Indies in deep trouble on 54-5 at lunch on the third day of the first Test in their chase of 251 for victory. The West Indies need 197 runs to win while Pakistan are chasing five wickets in a battle between the two basement sides in the World Test Championship.
