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

#1 Holder and Bishoo go after the bowling

Bishoo provided his skipper with some support in an enterprising half-century stand

All was not lost for Windies despite losing Chase and Dowrich in successive balls. The West Indian skipper, Jason Holder, is a more than a handy batsman as he has shown time and again and he came to the rescue with a typically positive knock.

Devendra Bishoo offered him some support and the duo cashed in on some tired Pakistani bowling. In no time, West Indies moved from 189/7 to 244/7 courtesy some lusty blows from the lower order batsmen.

The unbroken 55-run stand came at almost a run a ball and helped West Indies regain a grip on the game after Yasir's twin blow. Holder and Bishoo continuously looked for scoring opportunities and if they can put some more vital runs tomorrow to take the hosts to 300+, Pakistan would rue the lost opportunity of bowling out the Windies cheaply.
