Pakistan make slow Karachi start Yousuf in runs again for Pakistan
(10 minutes later)
Pakistan reached 88-2 at lunch on the opening day of the third and final Test against West Indies in Karachi. Mohammad Yousuf looked set for another big score for Pakistan in the third Test against West Indies in Karachi.
Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq chose to bat first after winning the toss. Yousuf, who made 191 in the first Test win and 192 in the drawn second, was on 67 as the hosts reached 174-3 at tea.
Corey Collymore got the breakthrough when he dismissed Mohammad Hafeez for 18 and Younis Khan was run out for 20 after a direct hit by Daren Powell. He was, however dropped just before the break by wicket-keeper Denesh Ramdin off Chris Gayle's off-spin.
Opener Imran Farhat was unbeaten on 41 and was heading for his third fifty of the series and the in-form Mohammad Yousuf was six not out. Corey Collymore bowled Mohammad Hafeez (18), Dwayne Bravo had Imran Farhat caught behind (47) and Daren Powell ran out Younis Khan (20) with a direct hit.
The hosts, who only need a draw to take the series after their win in Lahore, named an unchanged side. Collymore and Gayle bowled six successive maiden overs to hem in Pakistan in the first session.
They resisted the temptation to bring back paceman Mohammad Sami even though the pitch at the National Stadium is expected to offer seam movement. The seamer nipped one back into Hafeez and Younis struggled for an hour before sharp fielding from Powell off his own bowling accounted for him.
West Indies recalled batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan in place of Dave Mohammed. Farhat's 92-ball knock featured eight fours and he played some good drives on both sides of the wicket before he chased a wide delivery from Bravo.
Yousuf has proved a rock for his country in the past year and is closing in on Viv Richards' 30-year-old record of 1,710 Test runs in a calendar year.
He cracked 12 fours in the 93 balls he faced before tea, while skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq was not out on 17, but Yousuf could have gone when Ramdin failed to grasp a thin edge.
Pakistan kept an unchanged side for the third successive match of the series which meant there was no place for paceman Mohammad Sami despite his fine form in domestic cricket.
The tourists brought in Ramnaresh Sarwan and dropped left-arm spinner Dave Mohammed.
