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

#4 Darren Bravo-like innings

Darren Bravo
More batsmen for the Windies need to step up and play

Bravo was the saviour for the West Indies in both innings - he scored 87 in the first and followed it up with a brilliant century in the second, albeit in a losing cause. But the fight in him was the missing ingredient in the arsenal of his teammates.

None of the others, save Samuels, who was decent in the first innings, showed the willingness to fight it out against the Pakistani bowlers.

Allowing bowlers of the calibre of Yasir Shah and Mohammad Amir to dominate is the worst thing a batting side can do. West Indies did just that. They were either stuck in a drought of runs or trying too hard to score runs. The likes of Brathwaite, Johnson, Samuels and Blackwood will need to step it up like Bravo did.
