West Indies vs Pakistan 2017: 1st Test - Day 1, 5 Talking Points

#2 The Chase-Dowrich stand and Yasir's double blow

Dowrich and Chase stood firm in an 118-run stand that was broken by Yasir's twin strike

At 71/5, West Indies looked well and truly out of firepower to get to 200. Amir, Abbas and Riaz were on top of their game and thus Yasir Shah's lack of rhythm did not seem to be a real issue. But Chase and Dowrich had other ideas.

The pair batted out the tough period, albeit with quite a lot of luck in playing and missing, ran the ones and twos and found ways to keep the scoreboard ticking. Yasir bowled far too full and gifted runs away, while the fast bowlers had lost the early seam movement.

The duo crossed their respective half-centuries before the leggie struck twice in two balls. The first wicket, that of Chase, caught by Wahab Riaz, diving full length. Yasir then had Dowrich cleaned up the next ball with a sharp leg-spinner from around the wicket to bring Pakistan back into the game.
