5 things West Indies must do to save the second Test against Pakistan

Pakistan win
Despite a valiant effort from Darren Bravo, Pakistan won the first Test in the UAE

#3 Improvements in the field

Jason holder
Dropped catches was a major problem for the away side according to Holder

Skipper Jason Holder had told after the first Test that dropped catches were one of the prime reasons for the loss. He was right. Azhar Ali, who made 302 not out, was dropped twice - once on 17 by Leon Johnson at gully off Miguel Cummins and then at 190 by Jermaine Blackwood off Chase.

The dropped catches proved to be mighty costly as Bravo and Bishoo helped West Indies run Pakistan close.

If Ali had been caught in the first chance provided, West Indies would have had a new batsman to bowl to. It is known that Pakistan batting line-up can be pretty fragile and one wicket leads to another on most occasions, like what unfolded in the second innings. But the catch was never taken and Ali guided Pakistan to a huge total.

The West Indies will need to improve their catching and take any chances thrown at them, to beat Pakistan.
