Pakistan struggles against Bishoo
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 14 - 05 - 2011

GEORGETOWN, Guyana: Pakistan weasre undermined by leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo and West Indies captain Darren Sammy as it collapsed to 113 for six in its first innings at tea on the second day of the opening Test Friday.
Umar Akmal was not out on 27 and Abdur Rehman was not out on 13 at the break as the Pakistanis continued their reply to West Indies' first innings total of 226 at the Guyana National Stadium.
Akmal and Rehman were busy trying to restore respectability to Pakistan's innings, after Bishoo collected three wickets for 41 runs from 16 overs, and Sammy two for 16 from 12 overs, to send the visitors crumbling to 80 for six.
Things had taken a dramatic twist for the Pakistanis when they lost five wickets for 23 runs in the space of 78 deliveries.
Taufeeq Umar was lbw to Sammy for 19 playing forward and across a delivery angled in to the left-hander from around the wicket in the fifth over after lunch. Three overs later, Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq was trapped lbw for two on the backfoot to a flatter, faster delivery from Bishoo.
Before lunch, the visitors looked to have firm control, as Azhar and Taufeeq guided them to 45 for one, after they lost opener Mohammad Hafeez early.
Hafeez was Pakistan's most prolific batsman in the preceding one-day series, but he was bowled for four, dragging a delivery from Rampaul into his stumps in the second over of their innings.
Azhar and Taufeeq made steady progress in between a couple of alarming moments.
Earlier, Pakistan needed half an hour to complete the demolition of the West Indies first innings, after the host resumed from its overnight total of 209 for nine. Ajmal finished with the impressive figures of five for 69 from 33 overs.
