Pakistan need 178 within six wkts to beat Windies as Test hangs in balance

MULTAN, Pakistan, Jan 26 (AFP): Kevin Sinclair led a West Indian spin trio to give the tourists a sniff of a series-levelling win in the second Test Sunday with Pakistan on the ropes at 76-4 after day two in Multan.

The gutsy West Indies scored 244 in their second

innings to set the hosts a daunting 254-run target on a spinning Multan Stadium pitch.

At stumps, Saud Shakeel was unbeaten on 13 and nightwatchman Kashif Ali on one. The West Indies

need only six more wickets to draw the series 1-1.

Pakistan need a demanding 178 runs for victory.

They won the first Test by 127 runs, also in Multan.
