Windies win toss, choose to bat against Pakistan

Following a seven-wicket win in the opening match in Jamaica, Pakistan are introducing leg-spinner Shadab Khan for his Test debut at the expense of fast bowler Wahab Riaz as they seek the victory which would be a first-ever at the venue and also clinch a first Test series triumph in the Caribbean ahead of the final Test in Dominica in a week’s time.

Despite the second innings batting collapse at Sabina Park which paved the way for Pakistan’s victory, the West Indies have named an unchanged XI that features three middle-order batsmen – Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope and Vishaul Singh – with the combined experience of only 10 Tests.
