Yousuf in runs again for Pakistan Pakistan crumble after Yousuf ton
(about 3 hours later)
Mohammad Yousuf looked set for another big score for Pakistan in the third Test against West Indies in Karachi. Mohammad Yousuf notched up his eighth Test century of the year but otherwise Pakistan struggled on the first day of the final Test against West Indies.
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. They reached 257-7 at the close, with Yousuf dismissed for 102.
He was, however dropped just before the break by wicket-keeper Denesh Ramdin off Chris Gayle's off-spin. He was 46 runs short of Viv Richards' 30-year record of scoring 1710 runs in a calendar year.
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. Pace bowlers Corey Collymore and Dwayne Bravo took two wickets each in a match the West Indies must win to tie the three-match series.
Collymore and Gayle bowled six successive maiden overs to hem in Pakistan in the first session. Yousuf had made 191 in the first Test win and 192 in the drawn second and completed his third ton of the series in 158 balls.
But fortune was with him once again when he was dropped just before the tea interval, when wicket-keeper Denesh Ramdin missed a catch off Chris Gayle's off-spin.
Collymore got the West Indies' breakthrough when he bowled Mohammad Hafeez (18).
Bravo then had Imran Farhat caught behind (47) and Daren Powell ran out Younis Khan (20) with a direct hit.
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.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.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. Pakistan were 174-3 at tea but captain Inzamam-ul-Haq departed soon afterwards for 18 and Shoaib Malik was out for the same scoreline.
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. Yousuf was out attempting a pull shot but completely missed it and was rapped on his pads, lbw to Collymore.
Abdul Razzaq hung around for 33 balls for his seven before behind caught behind off Bravo's bowling.
At the close, Kamran Akmal (18) and Shahid Nazir were at the crease.
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.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.
