West Indies Lead on Day 1 Against Pakistan in Second Test

In the second Test match between Pakistan and the West Indies, Pakistan struggled on the opening day, ending nine runs short of the West Indies' first innings score of 163. Despite Mohammad Rizwan's 49 and a partnership with Saud Shakeel, Pakistan faced a severe collapse, with Gudakesh Motie and Kemar Roach taking crucial wickets. West Indies' bowlers dominated, with Motie claiming 3-49 and Roach 2-15, leading to Pakistan's fall to 25/3 early in their innings.
