W. Indies have lead of 54

NZPA-Reuter Lahore The leg-spinner, Abdul Qadir, continued to harass West Indies batsmen on the second day of the second cricket test on Saturday. Qadir, who claimed six for 16. when West Indies were bowled out for 53 in the first test, captured four more wickets to keep Pakistan in contention after the touring side had taken a first innings lead for the loss of only three wickets. The West Indies finished the second day on 185 for seven — a lead of 54 — having at one point been 153 for three in reply to Pakistan’s first innings total of 131. On a turning pitch, West Indies were never able to score with their customary freedom but werfe firmly in the ascendancy when Gordon Greenidge (75) and Viv Richards (44) came together in a productive fourth-wicket stand.

The picture changed when Qadir removed both batsmen, Greenidge for a determined 75, which included six boundaries, and Richards for 44.
