West Indies reach 194/3 after rain-hit play on Day 1 of the first Test against Pakistan. Batting first, West Indies post 194 runs for the loss of three wickets as the match is reduced to 67 overs due to rain and bad light. Pakistan begin positively when Mohammad Abbas takes two early wickets, but the visitors struggle to contain West Indies thereafter. Kavem Hodge remains unbeaten on 83, anchoring the innings. He and Shai Hope put together an unbroken 88-run partnership for the fourth wicket, taking the team past key milestones before the day’s play ends. Both outlets also note that both sides enter the series at the bottom of the World Test Championship standings. With play curtailed by the weather, the result of the opening day leaves West Indies in a strong position at stumps, with Hodge still at the crease.
