NEW DELHI: West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite won the toss and opted to bat against Pakistan on the opening day of the second Test in Multan on Saturday.
Pakistan, leading the two-match series 1-0 after a 127-run victory in the first Test, made one change, handing a debut to 30-year-old pacer Kashif Ali in place of Khurram Shahzad.

The West Indies made two changes, bringing in experienced seamer Kemar Roach for the injured Jayden Seales and debutant Amir Jangoo, who replaced Keacy Carty.
This series is part of the third cycle of the World Test Championship, with Pakistan ranked eighth and the West Indies ninth.
