Pakistan vs West Indies 1st Test Day 1, Highlights:Â More than 48 overs were lost as dense fog delayed the start of play in the first Test between Pakistan and West Indies at Multan. After opting to bat, Pakistan were tottering at 46/4, having lost captain Shan Masood (11), Muhammad Huraira (6), Kamran Ghulam (5) and stalwart Babar Azam (8) cheaply. However, Pakistan were rescued by a near-century-run stand between Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel. Both stayed unbeaten on half-centuries at Stumps, with Pakistan reaching 143/4. Jayden Seales impressed with the ball for the visitors, picking up three wickets. (Scorecard)

PAK vs WI, 1st Test Day 1, Live Updates
A partnership was need of the hour and Shakeel and Rizwan joined hands to end the second session without losing anymore wickets. West Indies ended the session on top but Pakistan came in with lot of intent as both scored plenty of boundaries and reached their respective fifties. Pakistan worked hard to be in this position and will be happy with how things have ended. They'll hope these two continue in the same manner on Day 2 as we don't think anymore play is expected today. And STUMPS it is as well! That is all from today. Join us for the action of Day 2 at 4 am GMT. Half an hour early start. Join us earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers!

Pakistan were reduced to 46/4 in the second session.
