Yousuf in runs again for Pakistan | |
(10 minutes later) | |
Mohammad Yousuf looked set for another big score for Pakistan in the third Test against West Indies in Karachi. | |
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. | |
He was, however dropped just before the break by wicket-keeper Denesh Ramdin off Chris Gayle's off-spin. | |
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. | |
Collymore and Gayle bowled six successive maiden overs to hem in Pakistan in the first session. | |
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. | |
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. |
