Match Facts
May 20-24, Basseterre, St. Kitts
Start time 1000 (1400 GMT)
No doubt the best team won the first test but this test has extra significance for Pak cos if they fail to win then they will drop to 7th in the test rankings swapping with the West Indies. Falling to 7th will be a all time low for Pak in test cricket despite good performances in NZ and in UAE against SA so this game is a must win for Pak but according to reports this is a very flat track so it will need something special to win this test.
Early team news no Younis Khan for Pak and Devon Smith (unfortunatley) dropped for the West Indies.
Lets see if Pak show some character.

Looking forward to seeing young Brathwaite have a bat (assuming he's picked) at least we know he can't do any worse than Smith. Will Hafeez still open the bowling or will Wahab be sharing the new ball?

Pak have won the toss and bat.
Also good news for Pak is that Shiv is injured and Samuels comes in for him and Brathwaite opens.
Pak no suprise have dropped the happless Gul with Tanvir.

Good toss to win for Pakistan. There seems to be nothing in the pitch for the quick bowlers - no swing, no sharp movement off the seam and no pronounced bounce.

Rampaul continues to delight me by bowling well again.
Survival was not particularly difficult for the batsmen, but then Pakistan's capacity to implode tends to the infinite.

Pakistan have found Rampaul unplayable in the T20's, one dayers and now tests.

this is a great oppurtunity for umar akmal to show his credential in flat pitch and seemingly early oppurtunity.

Kash, Indians too had found him unplayable in CWC. He took 4 wickets in his allotted 9 overs.

Rampaul needs two more wickets for me to say. Ddin't I say so.
