Yousuf ton puts Pakistan on top | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
Mohammad Yousuf hit his 20th Test century as Pakistan took a healthy first-innings lead over West Indies on day two of the first Test in Lahore. | |
Yousuf put on 88 with Mohammad Hafeez (57) and an unbroken 125 with Shoaib Malik, who went to stumps 61 not out. | |
When bad light hit, Yousuf was on 107, with Pakistan 59 ahead at 265-4. | |
Resuming on 39-1, Pakistan lost Younis Khan early and captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was out for a duck in his first match since the controversial Oval Test. | Resuming on 39-1, Pakistan lost Younis Khan early and captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was out for a duck in his first match since the controversial Oval Test. |
Inzamam missed a full toss from spinner Dave Mohammad, hard on the heals of Hafeez's dismissal, lbw to a ball that kept low from Jerome Taylor. | Inzamam missed a full toss from spinner Dave Mohammad, hard on the heals of Hafeez's dismissal, lbw to a ball that kept low from Jerome Taylor. |
It was just the 15th time 114-Test veteran Inzamam has been dismissed without scoring. | |
This was Yousuf's fourth centuries in six Tests against West Indies and the first on home soil. | |
Yousuf, in his 71st Test, was dropped on 43 by Daren Ganga off Taylor in the crucial period just before lunch. | |
And he was also fortunate to survive a stumping appeal by left-armer Mohammad on 53. | |
Television replays suggested his foot was on the line, but Sri Lankan umpire Asoka de Silva surprisingly did not refer the decision to the third umpire. | |
But otherwise he played a spectacular innings, stroking 14 boundaries despite some movement and turn in the pitch. |
